Ambiguous comment syntax

Since one of D's goals is dropping the bad things from C/C++, I wonder
why the ambiguous syntax for multi-line comments is still allowed:
---
auto p = new int;
*p = 10;
auto j = 100/*p; <- error
---
There is already the unambiguous /+...+/ syntax, so why not drop the
/*...*/ syntax? Compatibility? Convenience? I think D should be more
pragmatic.
What do you think?
