interesting. I always did it the other way - use /* */ in code, and // for commenting out blocks :)
If you have an IDE that can prefix every line in a block with '//' to comment it out, it will work regardless of comment style. But for non-IDE users, /**/ is the only efficient way to comment out blocks.
I agree with Patrick completely: let's stick to // comments in code, both to stay consistent with the rest of the codebase and to facilitate commenting out blocks.
