[SCL] Proposed additions to the SCL draft standard

[John F. Sowa]

Chris,

The abstract syntax doesn't need to specify anything about
how a comment (or structured annotation) is represented in
any concrete syntax.

No.  Each SCL concrete language specifies how comments are
recognized syntactically, e.g. by some kind of delimiters,
such as /* and */ or { and } or ;; and end-of-line.

Apart from the delimiters, the concrete syntax will say
nothing about the details of the comments.
