Good point!  If I were to implement that, it would be as a rule for 
something like FindBugs.  Anyone closing comments with \u002a\u002f 
should be shot at dawn.  Or entering the Obfuscated Java Contest.

(Besides which, native2ascii isn't going to use \uxxxx for plain ASCII 
chars, so it wouldn't happen by accident.)

In any case, I'm not parsing anything myself, apart from the Eclipse 
compiler build log.
