Sorry.  It has been a while since I studied this.  The issue is the
dashes, not the block comments.  /* --- is needed for multi-line comment
where you want to preserve the layout, but in other cases, it prevents
comment layout and looks kind of heavy.  I eyeball each change to make
sure it is clean so:
/* --- * test * --- */

becomes the cleaner:
/* * test */

This makes the comment easier to read.
