This nice trick extends into://*/block 1/*/block 2; // commented out/*/block 3;/*/block 4; // commented out//*/and removing the first slash gives inverted alternation:/*/block 1; // commented out/*/block 2;/*/block 3; // commented out/*/block...

This nice trick extends into:

//*/
block 1
/*/
block 2; // commented out
/*/
block 3;
/*/
block 4; // commented out
//*/

and removing the first slash gives inverted alternation:

/*/
block 1; // commented out
/*/
block 2;
/*/
block 3; // commented out
/*/
block 4;
//*/

This enables you to alternate between odd and even sequential blocks :). It will extend to infinite count of blocks! Even more curious but sometimes usefull nonetheless, alternation can be switched wherever you like:

/*/
block 1; // commented out
/*/
block 2;
/*/
block 3; // commented out
/*/
block 4;
/*/
block 5; // commented out
/*/
block 6;
//*/

can be switched into:

/*/
block 1; // commented out
/*/
block 2;
/*/
block 3; // commented out
/*/
block 4;
//*/
block 5;
/*/
block 6; // commented out
//*/
