Ambiguous comment syntax

[Oliver Hoog]

Since one of D's goals is dropping the bad things from C/C++, I wonder 
why the ambiguous syntax for multi-line comments is still allowed:
---
        auto p = new int;
        *p = 10;
        auto j = 100/*p;    <- error
---
There is already the unambiguous /+...+/ syntax, so why not drop the 
/*...*/ syntax? Compatibility? Convenience? I think D should be more 
pragmatic.
What do you think?
