Unnecessary Documentation Asterisks Added to Non-documentation Comment Blocks

[grantjbutler]

When writing a multi-line comment, documentation asterisks are automatically prefixed to each line of the comment. For example,

/*
 This is some information about this block of code.
 It does a thing.
 */

would become

/*
 * This is some information about this block of code.
 * It does a thing.
 */

Ideally, documentation asterisks should only be added for documentation comment blocks. That is, comment blocks that have an additional asterisk after the opening comment symbol (/**). For example,

/*
 This is some information about this block of code.
 It does a thing.
 */

would stay the same, but

/**
 This is some documentation about this method.
 @param type This is a param.
 @return This is the return type.
 */

would become

/**
 * This is some documentation about this method.
 * @param type This is a param.
 * @return This is the return type.
 */
