[swift-evolution] [swift-evolution-announce] [Review] SE-0037 Clarify interaction between comments & operators

[David Owens II]

+1 for the chosen path of the proposal.

However, one alternative is to remove /* ... */ style comments all together. Every example in the proposal are examples of commenting style that really have no business in the code.
