[My dim recollection is that col 1 contained some sort of preprocessor
flag, but I can easily believe that the /* problem was the real motivation.
PL/I and JCL were designed at IBM at the same time, and it would be typical

Programming Languages conference, which I do not have available at the
moment, is that the leader of both efforts was one and the same

[I looked through "IBM's 360 and Early 370 Computers" by Pugh et al. and
although the leadership kept shifting, the teams certainly were in touch.
So never mind. -John]
