A very small part of me wants to go and nuke all of the inconsistent
comment styles we have today scattered around into //-style comments
because _that_ enforces consistency.

"The first line is a //-style comment in C files now and the rest
aren't!" I don't think is a great argument.  And I don't think it's a
greater argument than "The SPDX tag is always the first line (rarely the
second)".
