Proposal: allow developers to use write prettier comments

[crccheck]

(ugh, return in github submits instead of doing a line break, submitted this too early)

Currently, standard does not allow code to have comments like:

// MY HEADING
/////////////

The relevant rule with a --verbose of "Expected space or tab after '//' in comment. (spaced-comment)"

I'm not sure why it's not spaced-line-comment but anyways, if you see the docs for spaced-line-comment or spaced-comment, there's a way to make an exception.

Why ///// and not //---- or something fancier? Because in VIM, you can copy paste a line, then replace all characters with / to make a fast heading. The uniformity of / also looks better IMHO.

Searching the issues shows this hasn't come up for discussion before.

spaced-line-comment was deprecated, so we use spaced-comment now.

Why ///// and not //---- or something fancier?

If you want a comment to stand out, consider using a block comment:

/**
 * MY HEADING
 */

Inside a block comment, you can do whatever extra formatting you want, for example:

/*
 * MY HEADING
 * ==========
 */
