Details are here: http://javascript.spec.whatwg.org/#comment-syntax
This needs to be rewritten in proper spec text.
(IMHO it should not be in Annex B only, since all existing engines seem to implement this and it would be nice to match reality.)

The supported syntax differs in some cases, for example `Function("1/*\n*/-->")` works in SpiderMonkey, but does not in V8/JSC. Maybe there are more differences, perhaps someone should inspect the actual implementations...
