Seriously and accurately, if you meant that, we don't know how 
developers of C compilers programmed their compilers, for 
example, maybe there's a secret way the developers programmed 
their compiler so that a special pattern of comments can have a 
particular meaning to the compilers. We don't know! maybe it's 
true.
