+* An asterisk in column 1 is the standard Snobol comment
+* mechanism, marking the entire line as a comment. There
+* are no block or multiline comments.
+
+*               Comments may begin at
+*               any position on the line.
+
+- A hyphen in column 1 begins a control statement.
+- Unrecognized control statements are ignored and
+- may also mark comment lines. Not recommended.
+
+                   ;* The semicolon statement separator
+    output = 'FOO' ;* begins a new statement. This idiom
+    output = 'BAR' ;* simulates an asterisk in the first
+                   ;* column, allowing end of line comments.
