I'm enamored with how /* ... */ looks, especially when it spans multiple lines.

Thanks didn't know that.

Thanks for the tip. In the past I used a different version of this technique:

#ifndef NOT_DEF
//old code
#endif

I stopped using it, because in Visual Studio it would left-align any
macros, which looked very odd.

In any case, I like your way.
