Thanks, Hal.  I needed that 'wake-up'.

I shall .always. use this for m-l-comments :)

It's even pseudo-nestable (unlike /* */)
with a bit of care.


    <<-'CM2'
       ..
       blah
       raise 'alarm'
       ..
       <<-'CM7'
          ..
          #{"I'm sorry, Dave; you can't do that."}
       CM7
       ..
       <<-'TODO_1234'
          exit(1234)
       TODO_1234
    CM2
