Re: [rules-users] 5.4.0.Beta2 parse error in consequence /* in string
This is an MVEL issue, which doesn't have a lexer and doesn't use
antlr. MVEL just picks up characters from a stream, trying to compact
them into tokens, apparently according to some state, in highly
brittle code. (I'm not slandering - the author's comment says so, too.)
I cannot reproduce the bug using "//" (5.3.0).

I am working towards a fix but not a antlr expert. I have used yacc.
