Description

When insert a block comment (non-docblock), each new line within the block comment is prefixed with an asterisk. This should only happen for docblock type comments.

This is the current behavior:

/*
 *
 *
 */

But it should be this behaviour:

/*

*/

For docblock comments it should be this behaviour:

/**
 *
 *
 */

All languages should have an option to toggle this if desired (PHP, javascript, etc)
