I actually realized right after I sent this that I am writing C++, so maybe it's a moot point. (Still trying to figure out how to use C for this, but it's an optional extension module only exposed for testing, so maybe it really doesn't matter.)

Context is https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/2878

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0007/ says two things:

Python versions greater than or equal to 3.6 use C89 with several select C99 features: [...] C++-style line comments and also: Never use C++ style // one-line comments. Which is it? -- Devin
