1797 – Documentation comments - ///

C# style documentation comments, which use lines prepended with ///, are not being parsed correctly. Two lines in a row are treated as separate blocks, and separated with the DDOC_BLANKLINE macro.
It seems to me this was once supported, although ddoc.html has always
listed "///" as a single line documentation comment.
/// Summary
///
/// Example line 1
/// Example line 2
Expected Results:
Summary
Example line 1 Example line 2
Actual Results:
Summary
Example line 1
Example line 2
If I have time (won't tonight), I'll try to figure up a patch for this issue, if I can test it with the compiler sources/latest dmdfe.

Simple lexer.c patch
Okay, this patch does two things. First, it fixes this issue by not adding an extra \n between two nearby block comments.
This does not break that this:
/**
 * Summary
 */
/**
 * Long Description
 */
Still works properly. It does not now nor did it before work for this:
/** Summary
 */
/** Long Description
 */
So this patch doesn't (that I can tell) break anything worse than current, but does improve ///.
Second, it fixes an issue wherein /** ... */ comments were typically not properly being separated. Meaning, before this did not even work:
/**
 * Summary
 */
/**
 * Long Description
 */
Based on the code, the fact that the combine comments function was trying to make that work, and the documentation... I fixed it so this works as well (the problem is that last line, " */".
