[wp-hackers] do you guys distinquish between various PHP commenting options?

[Ankit Tiwari]

Using # for single line commenting is discouraged in wordpress as well as

You can use any method from the remaining two, but a common practice is to
comment a single line using // and multiple lines using /**/
