I have an idea, that may be more comfortable:
If we could have a switch in LC 7+8 for parsing/compiling
that temporarily disables one of the commenting methods,
for example "//", we could use "version blocks" in new scripts:
// usual comment line for all versions
set slashCommentsOff to true
// ... code for versions 7/8 only
// ... code for versions 7/8 only
set slashCommentsOff to false
// usual comment line for all versions
This could analogously go on two times with switches
"hashCommentsOff" and "dashCommentsOff"
for later versions...
Just an idea.
Either #pragma or #if directives would solve the problem neatly, but the
problem there is that we'd need to have them retroactively. And there's
zero chance of getting anything into earlier parsers now that everything
before LC8 is going to be end-of-lifed.
