Wait, what? Where's an unterminated quote? I can imagine two ways of
reading this: one the way most programming languages would interpret
it (the /* and */ are both simply part of their respective strings,
and have no significance), and the "anything nests in anything" way,
in which the quotation marks inside /* */ are effectively inverted;
neither of those leaves an unterminated quote.
