I have noticed a few MAN(1) pages that use this format
for comments ( please ignore the leading >'s, I put them in for news' sake):
>... This is a comment.
Unfortunately, this isn't a comment. It just calls a non-existant
null macro called '..'. Our troff generates warnings for these
things, which is good for catching bizzarre text formatting bugs.
Anyway, the real troff comment is:
>.\" This is a comment.
Thank you for listening.
