I never meant to propose a single ASCII minus/hyphen '-', but two or three (like in Ada/VHDL).<br /><br />When I say dash I mean the double (or triple) minus. (Dash is much longer than minus or hyphen an is often rendered as '--' in ASCII (for en-dash) or sometimes even --- for em-dash.)Jiří Svobodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09911075768532401265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192079351385094431.post-51080987875063341302010-03-05T12:48:44.062+01:002010-03-05T12:48:44.062+01:00I must say I like the multi-dash comments.

The series of dashes seems to "fade out" the comment in a natural way.<br /><br />With a single dash, wouldn't this be a problem when I wrap a rather long arithmetic expression before the minus operator, such as in this example:<br /><br /> a = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9<br /> - bjermarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10964920222531497079noreply@blogger.com
