It does hide the functions but not the C-style comments.  The language
is Javascript.  When the point is inside a comment block, nothing
happens when 'hide block' is invoked.  I didn't try it on C++ style
comments, which I only ever use for 1 or 2 line comments, anyway.

You could be right, though, and maybe it is just set up for that style
of comment.

Thanks.

perhaps a tumor or a metabolic deficiency -- but after a thorough
neurological exam it was determined that Byron was simply a jerk.
