It would reflect poorly on the compiler if it failed to compile
something simply because you added a few comments. Especially
since each C-style comment is likely its own token. A
not-absurd usecase is a person condensing several functions
into one, which might involve separately commenting out several
function bodies.
it has nothing to do with compiler: parser skips comments when
peeking tokens. the only thing affected is simplistic syntax
highlighter that can't do proper lookup.
