No
In the GLM, assigning a string literal containing a double slash (//) causes an error becauses the parser sees this as the start of a comment. I happened to me when trying to assign an URL to a variable.
module zzz {
URL "<htp: localhost="">"; </htp:>
}
It is an unfortunately flaw in the design of the parser that comments are handled during buffer loading before macros are expanded and before the main parser runs. This could be somewhat hard to fix.
