introduced true block and EOL comments
* The previous convention of !* ... *! are now true block comments, i.e. they are parsed faster, don't spam the goto table and allow embedding of exclamation marks - only "*!" terminates the comment. * It is therefore now forbidden to have goto labels beginning with "*". * Also support "!!" to introduce EOL comments (like C++'s //). This disallows empty labels, but they weren't useful anyway. This is the shortest way to begin a comment. * All comment labels have been converted to true comments, to ensure that syntax highlighting works correctly. EOL comments are used for single line commented-out code, since it's easiest to uncomment - you don't have to jump to the line end. This is a pure convention / coding style. Other people might do it differently. * It's of course still possible to abuse goto labels as comments as TECO did for ages. * In lexing / syntax highlighting, labels and comments are highlighted differently. * When syntax highlighting, a single "!" will first be highlighted as a label since it's not yet unambiguous. Once you type the second character (* or !), the first character is retroactively styled as a comment as well.
