module.
It should now be able to handle multi-line comments that are only on one line.
Furthermore, it should also handle multi-line comments from languages such as
python (where the identifiers for comment begining/end are identical).
The metrics module currently only includes a very simple ELOC (estimated lines
of code) metric, but will be expanded eventually with some other metrics.
