Re: [Pharo-project] Issue 3523 in pharo: Nested comments

Comment #5 on issue 3523 by renggli: Nested comments http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3523 Fist of all, C/C++/Java/C#/JavaScript comments go like this: /* some comment */ In any case, introducing that into Smalltalk doesn't work because both #/* and #/* are valid binary selectors and it would be highly ambiguous to parse something like this: 12 /* some comment */ a A combination with the double-quotes $" could work and would avoid the ambiguity: "* some comment "* some nesting *" *" Otherwise, I am afraid there is no other character to introduce nested comments.
