[Haskell-cafe] Comment Syntax

[Nicolas Wu]

This whole discussion is reminding me of Wadler's Law of Language
Design [1], it's nice to see that in 15 years things haven't changed
much!

   WADLER'S LAW OF LANGUAGE DESIGN
   In any language design, the total time spent discussing
   a feature in this list is proportional to two raised to
   the power of its position.
        0. Semantics
        1. Syntax
        2. Lexical syntax
        3. Lexical syntax of comments
