With Ada we have no choice, and only have -- comments. I don't think
I've ever encountered that kind of formatting problem, even though we
definitely have active developers using Emacs.

This seems a weak argument. Besides that, I don't feel strongly
either way. I'd just like to avoid a mixture of // and /* */
if possible.
