An example in the wild is in the package wai-extra, in the
file Network/Wai/Middleware/RequestLogger.hs where the */* construct
appears twice in the comments.
An even more common case could be the operator '//' of the vector package.
cpp also removes C++ style comments.
I once almost got crazy
This does not appear to be the case, at least any more. The way GHC invokes
gcc for c pre-processing only removes /*…*/ style comments, not the later
// style:
module Main where
(//) :: Double - Double - Double
a // b = a / b / b
main = print $ 1 // 2
works:
runhaskell -cpp CppTest2.hs

recently.
For the delay, I am very sorry. Here's an update on the most
