(back_comment): Simplify string-parity counting (with the added benefit of handling multiple string-styles as long as they are not nested). Jump to the slow code as soon as a comment starter is found in a "string_lossage" position. Fixes the case: " /* " /* " */.

#!/bin/sh
if
test -r $2
then
if
cmp $1 $2 > /dev/null
then
echo $2 is unchanged
rm -f $1
else
mv -f $1 $2
fi
else
mv -f $1 $2
fi
