Is "C-style comments" accurate, given no support for multiline?

[NReilingh]

When I read the CUE tutorial, I took note of the "C-style comments" item listed at https://cuelang.org/docs/tutorials/tour/intro/json/, and interpreted that to mean support for both single-line (// comment) and multiline (/* comment */) comments.

I was rather surprised, then, when CUE blew up after I tried to feed it some multiline comments. It seems as though only the // style is supported.

Is it accurate to call these C-style comments in the tutorial, especially given that C's original comment style was the multiline variation, and the single-line // style was actually an extension from C++?

I suspect there might have been a time when CUE did support multi-line comments; @mpvl will be able to confirm.

Either way, they are not support today. So @NReilingh I'd agree - we should make the tutorial line up with the spec.

Cool, I've submitted a PR: #864
