This is my theory...

There is such a concept as script blocks and control blocks.

Knowing that single line comments terminate at the end of the line OR at
the end of the script block, whichever comes first. (A lot of articles
around the web neglect to mention that part.) So...

<?php
echo "Line 1";
// echo "Line 2"; ?>
die("Last Line");
<?php
echo "Line 3"; ?>

....will NOT kill the script as anticipated.

There is such a concept as an Alternative Control Structure (ACS)
syntax. Example:

if(expression):
elseif:
else:
endif;

The theory...

The ACS is acted upon in single-line comments.

Example:

if(expression):
// COMMENT : endif
else:
end; // maybe 'end' by itself is legal?

Possible result: Unexpected T_ELSE error.

NOTES:
1. Intentionally mixing structure styles can lead to unpredicable
results.
2. Inadvertently mixing structure styles, even innocuous characters in
comments, can lead to unpredicable results.
