I can't refrain from wondering what an optimal "order of operations" should be when you must extract strings which may contain the comment's delimiter, and comments which may contain the string's delimiter.

Our company wrote a small compiler for a language of ours, and we made the same choice as AppleScript: forbidding single double- quotes in a comment rather than limiting what a string may contain.

Triple quotes won't work. The following generates the same error.

This will work, though:

(*

But this won't:

(*
this is a \" test.
