The regular expressions used to detect certain declarations expect only whitespace between meaningful tokens. Adding a block comment (unusual though this may be) prevents the declaration from being pattern-matched, and the class member will be unknown to the supporting context.
For example: private var /*oops*/ foobar; will not be parsed successfully.
