Arrrrggh! After running into an annoying property of C for the nth agonizing time, I have decided to flame (lightly) about it here. I had commented out a fairly large section of code and compiled the program, and got all sorts of errors when I had thought that all was ok. Why? Because the code I had commented out had other comments in it, and the first one to end was considered the end of the whole section of commented out code. I want to leave the commented code in, so the comments in, and the comments within it. I want nested comments! (C flame off)
