I was merely asking if an algorithm to pick between the
2+ choices was allowed to look at the contents of the
lines.

I.e., an algorithm would look at the C comment
example and determine that the choice starting containing
a full inserted comment is preferable over the one that
appears to close one comment and open a new.

And the in inserted-function case it would prefer the one
where the matching { and } are in correct order.
