It really should ignore anything in any sort of comment. The whole point of
a comment is that it provides the programmer with information and is ignored
by the compiler/interpreter. If // is supposed to comment until the end of
the line, then by god, it should comment until the end of the line, not
until the end of the line unless it finds ?> buried in the line somewhere.
Even VB gets this right!
