Subject: [ruby-core:33948] Multi-line comments

  I was always curious about the reasoning Ruby doesn't support 
multi-line comments. Does anyone knows the reason?

I remember that the only thing I really didn't like when I first read 
about Ruby was the absence of multi-line comments and named parameters. 
The last one will be supported in Ruby 2.0 according to Matz (although I 
still don't know how will the syntax be), but I still don't know why 
multi-line comments are not supported in Ruby.

Please, could someone explain me why supporting multi-line comments is a 
bad thing?

Best regards,

Rodrigo.
