/**
* Node representing comments.
* Node type is {@link Token#COMMENT}.
*
*
JavaScript effectively has five comment types:
*
* - // line comments
* - /* block comments *\/
* - /** jsdoc comments *\/
* - <!-- html-open line comments
* - ^\\s*--> html-close line comments
*
*
* The first three should be familiar to Java programmers. JsDoc comments
* are really just block comments with some conventions about the formatting
* within the comment delimiters. Line and block comments are described in the
* Ecma-262 specification.
*
*
SpiderMonkey and Rhino also support HTML comment syntax, but somewhat
* counterintuitively, the syntax does not produce a block comment. Instead,
* everything from the string <!-- through the end of the line is considered
* a comment, and if the token --> is the first non-whitespace on the line,
* then the line is considered a line comment. This is to support parsing
* JavaScript in <script> HTML tags that has been "hidden" from very old
* browsers by surrounding it with HTML comment delimiters.
*
* Note the node start position for Comment nodes is still relative to the
* parent, but Comments are always stored directly in the AstRoot node, so
* they are also effectively absolute offsets.
