Comments

A comment is an arbitrary sequence of characters beginning with double dashes and extending to the end of the line, e.g.:

-- This is a standard SQL comment
    
We also support C-style block comments, e.g.:
/* multi
   line
   comment
 */
    
A comment beginning with "/*" extends to the first occurrence of "*/".
