 * Block comment AST node type.

 * begin with "/&#42;", may contain line breaks, and must end
 * with "&#42;/". Following the definition in the JLS (first edition
 * but not second edition), block comment normally exclude comments
 * that begin with "/&#42;#42;", which are instead classified as doc
 * comments ({@link Javadoc}).
 * </p>

 * Note that this node type is a comment placeholder, and is
 * only useful for recording the source range where a comment
 * was found in a source string. It is not useful for creating
 * comments.
