9527	"Allow ""*/"" in MapCSS comments"	naoliv	team	"I don't know if I need to sleep or if there is really a problem with this.
Using this example .mapcss file:

{{{
/*
*[highway][name =~ /^R(\.|:)? .*/i] {
        throwWarning: tr(""foo"");
}
*/
}}}

First, if I am not wrong, this means that everything is commented and everything inside should be ignored, right?

But I see this while trying to load it:

Another thing: with or without the comment it gives the same errors.
I really can't see what is wrong with this simple regex example.
Is the example really wrong or the problem is also caused by something internal in JOSM?
