Am I allowed to use C++-style // comments?
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0007/ says two things:
Python versions greater than or equal to 3.6 use C89 with several select C99 features: [...] C++-style line comments
and also:
Never use C++ style // one-line comments.
Which is it? -- Devin

This section overrides further edicts in the document for Python 3.6+.
and also:
Never use C++ style // one-line comments.

I actually realized right after I sent this that I am writing C++, so
maybe it's a moot point. (Still trying to figure out how to use C for
this, but it's an optional extension module only exposed for testing,
so maybe it really doesn't matter.)
Context is https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/2878
