Legacy GM Neat Commenting Trick

I stumbles upon some useful behavior of multi-line comments.

Normal Usage:
PHP: 
/*
Commented
*/

Not Commented
Easily Toggle Usage: Commenting out the closing comment tag allows you to quickly add a slash to the opening comment tag to help debug and without remembering where the closing tag belongs.
PHP: 
/*
Commented
//*/

//*
Not Commented
//*/
Extended Toggle Usage: Inserting a /*/ works as a pivot point, splitting a comment block into two sections with the top section commented and the bottom disabled. Adding an extra / to the opening comment tag inverts the behavior, activating the top block and deactivating the bottom.
PHP: 
/*
Commented
/*/
Not_Commeneted
//*/
Inverted:
PHP: 
//*
Not Commented
/*/
Commeneted
//*/
