- I have a fairly simple change that I would like to see in THINK Pascal: better
- handling of comments.
-
- I want to be able to comment out blocks of code, while debugging, and then
- uncomment the block afterwards, without having to deal with TP's silly
- single-line comment restriction.
-
- As such, I'd like to see TP support multiple line (and nested) comments.
-
- It doesn't seem as though that would be terribly troublesome for them to
- include--Does anyone know why TP is restricted to single-line comments, in
- the first place? Is it just because of the pretty-printer??
