Too new.  /**/ comment out is bogus anyway.  #if 0 ... #endif is better.

C doesn't allow it, or didn't until recently.  That style tends to
lead to really gross things too.  Functions should be short enough
that it doesn't matter.

But changing style(9) is hard.  We have better things to do with our
lives. :-)
