Actually the doc comment has to start with "/**\n" and end with "*/", so
the above will work just fine (because I have a rule for doc comments
with unticked_statement). The only issue right now is making rules for
doc comments before class/namespace vars and constants. If I could get
some help with that from Zeev/Andi/Stas, it'd be great.
