Agda.Syntax.Parser.Comments

This module defines the lex action to lex nested comments. As is well-known this cannot be done by regular expressions (which, incidently, is probably the reason why C-comments don't nest).

When scanning nested comments we simply keep track of the nesting level, counting up for open comments and down for close comments.
