TypoScript is not like "all other languages". Also, if we are going to 
support /* */ comments like some other languages do, I think we should 
go all the way:
- /* should not need to be at the very beginning of a line
- contents after */ is not part of the comment

Furthermore we should decide what to do with:
- comments inside parameter values ( object.wrap = <div>/* See: | */</div> )
- comments inside multi-line values (between () )

This probably needs some major rewriting of the TS parser. Frankly, I'm 
not sure it's worth the effort just to support a slightly different 
style of comments.
I agree with Thorsten that it may produce more problems than it solves.

So, I'm afraid I'll give it a -1 for this partial solution.
