Several points:

I understand that there is another newsgroup for such discussions.

People proposing // seem unaware that this has already been considered
and rejected for the C standard.  No arguments have been made that
would justify reopening the issue.

It will be several years before the ANSI C committee will be soliciting
public comment for the next revision of the C standard.  Thus this
newsgroup is not presently a useful place for such discussions.
