addressed more properly later in the chapter.

Do not use C++ style comments (<literal>//</literal> comments). Strict ANSI C
compilers do not accept them. For the same reason, do not use C++
extensions such as declaring new variables mid-block.
To maintain a consistent coding style, do not use C++ style comments
(<literal>//</literal> comments). <application>pgindent</application>
