First, show me your perfect comment removal code. Don't forget to
correctly handle different source code encodings, backslashes escaping
newlines, and triple-quoted strings. Then if that is proven easy, I'll
show you how a small tweak will remove any other syntactic element you
like.

And yes, I know exactly what tool I would use for the job. If I ever
had to do something so stupid.
