Uncommenting is a fascinating problem. It probably is important to compiler
writers. But for normal programming, I think one would want to add comments.
Anyway I've been watching the algorythms getting thorougher. Has anybody
thought about the pathological split line literal?
tmp := []
while find("\"567_
#934.\355\\\'",read()) do # Unbelievable isn't it
put(tmp,"Field_1_
_78\'#\\\"YYY_
Continuing_String_
Literally_Pathetic#") # \\ "ack!" #\\
Granted, who would write an expression so pathetic, except to try to break
a parser. Food for thought and icon hackers.
