I like the concept, though I wonder if -* *- is more euphorian, if less
conventional.  Probably not a good idea, since *- could be legitimate
code (e.g., x*-1).  And my eyes, at least, are already used to looking
for /* */.  As a precedent (for what it's worth), Oracle SQL also uses
'--' for a single line comment, and /* */ for partial/multiple line
comments.

Now, on to the implementation.  The following code only prints 2:
 
/*  blah */ ? 1 /* blah */ ? 2

As does:

/*  blah 
*/ ? 1 /* blah */ ? 2

Is this is by design?
