I am using File.join *only* because C comments are borken. I would
prefer to use "**/*.rb" in the example, but that will close the C
comment, rendering the rest of the comment useless. If there is a way
to fix this (and the / * FIXME * / stuff that's already in there) --
possibly in Rdoc -- please advise. Perhaps Rdoc can convert *\/ to */
on output? I don't want to put a special case, but I think something
needs to be there that makes it easy to use and have the proper
output, too.
