Description

Right now cqlsh doesn't support multiline comments that are available in the CQL grammar:

MULTILINE_COMMENT
    : '/*' .* '*/' { $channel = HIDDEN; }
    ;

These should be supported both in file and interactive mode (where copy pasting large chunks of CQL scripts containing such comments might be convenient).
