Comments 

Comments consist of a sequence of characters that starts with either of
the equivalent symbols { or (*, and end with either of the equivalent
symbols } or *).

Comments are used to document a program.  Since a comment is a separator,
it may appear anywhere in a program where a separator may appear.
However, nested comments are not legal.  Note that comments do not have
to be on lines by themselves and may cross line boundaries.

Syntax 

     Comment:


            

Example 

     { comment }
     (*comment*)
     { comment*)
     { { { { comment }
     { This comment
     occupies more than one line. }
