    Added a test for now-functional multiline commenting in PP code

    Fixed PP commentary
    
    PP generates lots of code. Some of that code is confusing at first
    blush, so PP added C-style multiline comments to help anybody
    examining the generated XS. Unfortunately, if a user had a bug in
    their code's logic and attempted to debug by commenting out large
    swaths of their PP code, the non-nesting of C-style comments would
    invariably lead to weird compile failures.
    
    My proposed solution is to #define the symbol PDL_COMMENT(comment),
    thus allowing any commentary such as this:
    
      _internal_var->value  /* get some internal thing */
    
    to be replaced with something like this:
    
      _internal_var->value  PDL_COMMENT("get some internal thing")
    
    It's a bit more verbose, but it enables users to use multiline
    comments in the way described above.
