-/: Recognize short comments (FORTRAN & RATFOR)

If this command is not used with the FORTRAN-like languages, the // construction will be interpreted as concatenation rather than as the beginning of a short comment.

Concatenation can be signified with FWEB's token\/, so no penalty is incurred for using -/.

One way of invoking this option is with the global language command, such as @n/. Another is to put the command into the initialization file .fweb.

See also -n/ and -r/.

-!: Make ! denote short comment (FORTRAN & RATFOR)

This option is not recommended; use FWEB's standard // to begin short comments.

To include the exclamation point inside a string, escape it with a backslash, as in

        s = "A \! inside a string"
