Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some languages (i.e. Razor pages) actually have multiple kinds of block comments, comment calculation is a bit more complex than we currently handle, with allowance for both html and C# comments. Not sure we can calculate it to the full precision of the language withou incorporating Roslyn, but we could potentially allow multilpe kinds of pairs of block comment styles in a single languge.
