Won't work.  The `#endif' has been commented out by the first `/*' inside.

More generally, `#if 0...#endif' should not be considered a `comment', except
in the sense of `commenting out code'.  The contents are still lexed into C
tokens, which is why it's also illegal to say
	#if 0
	The compiler won't like this
	#endif
