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".
I like the idea, but object to the word bracket. To me, bracket
exclusively refers to "[" and "]". They are parenthese/asterisk
pairs, so I would prefer one of the following:
pasterisk
parasterisk
parisk
All you pedants! Forbear! Mr. Tea had the best, and most
entertaining, suggestion yet. None of you has a patch on "briskets".
I like "briskets". (For that matter, I like briskets too.) Accept
Mr. Tea's offering (and I haven't quite understood whether said
offering also includes a warm pot and its contents), or go off and
ruminate until you come up with something better.
How about "commentators"? (Though I think Briskets have the same
panache as Osaxen...)
