s2 supports both C- and C++-style comments, which may appear essentially
anywhere in code:

```s2
// comment until end of line
/* comment until … */
```






When evaluating, comments are ignored as if they were spaces. Newlines
are *almost* always treated as whitespace, with the exception that *some*
block-level constructs allow (for convenience and convention) a
newline to act as an end-of-expression. Here is an example of the effect
of semicolons and newlines around an expression:

That means that a `//`-style comment which ends in a backslash
followed by a newline does *not*, contrary to the C standard, combine
the next line with the comment.
