Briskets

I've never quite known what to call those bracket/asterisk combinations that
can be used to comment-out blocks of code in scripts.

So I would like to humbly propose that we call them 'briskets'. As in: "To
enable the positive response in this script, simply remove the briskets".

set theResponse to "You idiot"
(*
set aWord to word 1 of theResponse
set bWord to word 2 of theResponse
set aText to " would have to be an "
set bText to " not to agree."
set theResponse to {aWord, aText, bWord, bText} as string
*)
say theResponse
