`------------------------------------------
I understand the standard requires a different behavior for multi-line comments, depending on whether the source is read from a text file or not. Multi-line comments shall work when read from a text file, but fail when pasted into an interpreter or read from a block.

For practical reasons,  I think it would be preferable if the behavior was same between input sources.

It makes me wonder...

1. do you agree?
2. what would be your preferred behavior?
3. would it be realistic to change the standard to allow multi-line comments for all input sources?
4. would it be realistic to change the standard to disallow multi-line comments for all input sources?
