You appear to be suggesting that given
/* ... $$ ... */
the parser should think that the $$ is significant. Sorry, that's *not*
going to happen, as it's undeniably contrary to the letter and spirit of
the SQL spec. Per spec, comments are insensitive to any contents except
*/ and /*. We can bolt on the nonstandard $$ syntax in contexts where
that would be a syntax error, but we can't redefine the meaning of text
that the spec has a clear interpretation for.
If that wasn't what you meant, please clarify ...
