Well, there are normal comments, doc comments and now DUB recipe 
comments. But at least if doc comments serve as an analogy, those are 
possible with all three comment styles, so that could be taken as a 
consistency argument.

SDLang supports C and C++ style comments as well, so could in fact apply 
here. But probably you'd usually use // style comments in that case.

Would there be any harm? Looking it up in either DUB's or DMD's 
documentation would clarify that.

Apart from what I've already mentioned in my first reply to Jacob, I 
think there is nothing else that couldn't be solved in either case.

Okay, so at least 3 people favor supporting other comment styles, while 
I'm not convinced that supporting all comment styles is necessarily 
better, I wouldn't mind pulling an update. The relevant code section is 
here: 
https://github.com/dlang/dub/blob/b02c18991b0cb4627eb0c943efd6ca3e69192751/source/dub/dub.d#L288

It would probably make sense to unify the comment matcher with the one 
here, which currently doesn't support /+ +/ comments: 
https://github.com/dlang/dub/blob/b02c18991b0cb4627eb0c943efd6ca3e69192751/source/dub/internal/utils.d#L430

1.0.0-rc.1 is scheduled for Monday morning, so it should ready by then 
to avoid stretching the release schedule (it's technically a breaking 
change!).
