=== Comments
Use the `//` token anywhere on a line to specify a single-line comment. All
characters from the `//` token to the end of the line are ignored. Use an
opening `/*` token and a closing `*/` token to specify a multi-line comment.
Multi-line comments can start anywhere on a line, and all characters in between
the `/*` token and `*/` token are ignored. Comments can be included anywhere
within a script.
