The closest thing to a “super comment” is shown in my edit to your example:
https://play.golang.org/p/nkDcMCzhkf

It is legitimate, but it too has limitations. For me at least, those are rare.

    was a compiler bug.
    
    No, it isn't.
    
    The comment finishes with the */. Then there's a ", starting
    a double-quoted string literal. Then there's a newline, which
    is illegal in a double-quoted string literal.
    
    The insides of comments are not tokenised.
