Proposal

Due to the active buildup and development of the Kipper Parser, only /* */ multi-line comments were implemented at first, only allowing the use of comments that had an explicit start and end.

This is not consistent with other languages though, where both // and /* */ are usually supported. As such, this issue proposes the implementation of single-line comments in the following format:

// ... [\n]

The end of the comment will like in other languages, such as TypeScript, Java or C#, be defined as the invisible line-end char (\n, \r\n or \r).

Exact behaviour / changes you want

• Implement syntax support for single-line comments.
• Resolve any bugs associated with newline recognition in the Kipper Parser.

Implemented by #404 and should be released in the next version.
