New commenting styles are not needed.   Simply make /**/ nestable.  There is no valid reason not to.

There are arguments, but no valid reasons.

That comments are not nestable in C is one of C's large number of mindless characteristics.

May K&R burn eternally in hell.

Yes to comment out blocks of code without having to put a "/" at the beginning of each line.

Sorry, I should have said that block comments that nest are required.  They are not required at the character/token level.  Just at the line level.
