Where does it state this? A very quick glance at section 2.7 (Comments)
and chapter 16 (Preprocessing Directives) didn't give any statement
_when_ to remove comments. To be exactly, I'm more interested in the C
standard in this case anyway, as the source is C (or I'd be able to use
C++ inheritance instead of some obscure macro technology...)

And as doxygen does not see the fully preprocessed source
(or it wouldn't see _any_ comment), it doesn't really matter what the
C++ or C standard says...

My compiler's preprocessor does what it should: it removes this
comments. But doxygen doesn't use the compilers preprocessor, it uses
its own. I just plea for this _feature_ inside doxygen...
