I still manually type comment > starting and ending sequences every day. Emacs has a command to open a comment: 'M-;' (without the quotes). When you type this in C mode, Emacs inserts "/* */" and puts the cursor inside the comment, so you could type the text. In C++ mode, 'M-;' inserts "// " and puts the cursor after it. With the above new feature, you can now get "/* */" in C++ mode if you toggle the style. Does that answer your question? (I've stopped typing the comment starting and ending sequences long ago, I always use 'M-;'.)
