pgindent has never been very kind to non-end-of-line comments, and I'm not excited about working on making it do so. As a thought experiment, what would happen if we reversed course and started allowing "//" comments? Naive conversion of this comment could break the code altogether. (Plenty of programming languages don't even *have* non-end-of-line comments.)
I suspect not allowing // is at least a minor annoyance to any new developer we acquire under the age of about 40.
