I assumed that \ is a general marker for pragmas and thus it'd be easy to 
implement \* 

The \ sticks with established TW syntax, whereas // is js and, as you note, 
conflicts with italics - at least psychologically.

Still, because we are allowed to use CSS (as opposed to js) in TW, I do 
favor /* .

...but the absolute optimal would be universal solution: Currently one must 
use <!-- --> mid tiddler, but it would be much better if 
whatever-is-decided could be used everywhere; among macro defs, in CSS *and* 
mid-tiddler.

Overall, considering how TW relies on building on other peoples stuff, it 
makes sense if the system encourages commenting by making it simple.
