   Well ...... reflex ........   :-)

   Now most of my code lines have a "# WhatThisIs"
   comment at the end. I like to micro-document so
   I can remember what my own fuckin' code does
   a few years down the line. AMAZING how quickly
   the 'why' vanishes from the mind  :-)

   Probably 50% of the text in my code - doesn't
   matter which lang - is 'comments'.

   ANYway ... you CAN easily do block commenting
   in Python ... P3 anyway, not so sure about P2
   because I never used it.

   IF there's a P4 ... they really SHOULD accept "/*"
   as a start-comment.
