[Logiweb] A small problem about comments

There are no 'supercomment' features at present, sorry. But it has bugged 
me too, so I will put it on my todo list. My own solution when I encounter 
this problem is to use my editor to replace
   \n
with
   \n"";
(where \n is newline) for the lines I want to comment out. That works 
because a ""; comment can only be terminated by newline of end-of-file.

I'm afraid the hack above will not work *always* on the version of Logiweb 
installed at Diku since, as far as I recall, the sequence which starts a 
one-line-comment is different when stated inside and outside strings in 
that version of Logiweb. But give it a try.

Cheers,
Klaus
