Every descent editor should provide a comment-selected-text functionality. So 
whether multiline comments or single comments are used should be an 
implementation detail. You also have to get (* *) (OCaml) nested and with /* */ 
(C) you are in trouble anyway because they can't nest. So I don't think that 
multiline comments are so much better without editor support. (I wrote a plugin 
for Vim which does the required escaping. Believe me: Single comments are much 
better!)

Sincerely
Meikel
