Heh, I tried to scroll to the right to see the rest of the line. Swift's nested block comments would sort of fix the problem, but syntax highlighting would work with C. I will say though that highlighting comments and strings separately from the code doesn't necessitate full syntax highlighting. I remember (and have saved somewhere) an article on syntax highlighting where only comments were highlighted.
