boxed comments
     
         {Comments} that occupy several lines by
        themselves; so called because in {assembler} and {C} code they
        are often surrounded by a box in a style similar to this:
     
         /*************************************************
         *
         * This is a boxed comment in C style
         *
         *************************************************/
     
        Common variants of this style omit the asterisks in column 2
        or add a matching row of asterisks closing the right side of
        the box.  The sparest variant omits all but the comment
        {delimiters} themselves; the "box" is implied.
     
        Opposite of {winged comments}.
