Description
Hello :)
Currently `.h` files use `/*` style comments, and I'd like to contribute a way to use `//` comments instead. I presume just changing the default is not an option, so I'd like to ask what would be the most principled solution. A command line flag?

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by examining addlicense's command-line entry point and its handling of .h files, then determine how comment style is currently selected. Done should be an agreed, documented mechanism for using // comments without changing the default.
