Not a single reason for that
Except of course for the ones that have been pointed out. And
for the reasons you yourself brought up in favor of
version(none). Not a single reason aside from all of those.
If they can't be used in edge cases is not a reason to never use
them.
* properly nested `/+ +/` indeed don't cause issues
Disproved two times in this thread. Anyway nothing properly
done causes issues.
Being that the issues with /* */ are a superset of the issues
with /+ +/, they clearly cause fewer issues than /* */.
The OP's example shows that nested comments ignore programmer's
intent. In the end they work when opening and closing sequences
are gotten right, not when programmer intends them to nest. The
difference is so infinitesimal it's difficult to formulate it,
but difference in complexity is evident.
