   This is the third time I've heard this. Can someone verify this? I've
asked both Lattice, and our local ANSI expert (who was on the committee),
and both have said "no". Similarly, I've yet to C a book on the ANSI
standard which says it supports // comments. I hope that ANSI
did decide to add these at the last minute. I certainly can't see any
harm in doing so...
