Yeah, it's really annoying to comment out code with /* */ when it already contains comments which used /* */. /+ +/ doesn't have that problem thanks to the nesting, and it's fantastic. /++ +/ can be used for ddoc comments, but beyond that, I don't generally use /+ +/ for actual comments. It's real usefulness is in commenting out code. - Jonathan M Davis
