Please allow /* ... */ type comments in LSL. This should be a fairly simple change in the lexer, and as far as I know is 100% backwards compatible with the current language.
The advantages of this kind of comments are:
Helpful in debugging -- can comment out large sections of code easily
Long comments become easier to write and edit.
Allows comments within statements, rather than just at the end.
The disadvantages are:
I dont see any other than the work needed to put it in.
I put this up on the voting page, vote on it if you wish.

Not something of huge priority, but yeah - it would be nice.
