"{{" without whitespace after is not treated as code

[adamrogas]

The issue is that when you strip whitespace on a file that has line style comments

i.e. //commnted text

the comments will almost always cause unintended side effects, like client side javascript errors

Block comments FTW!
/* whatever */

The above solution doesn't work when dot.templateSettings.strip is set to true.

The code:

dot.templateSettings.strip          = true;
dot.templateSettings.append         = false;
dot.templateSettings.selfcontained  = false;
var template = '' +
    '{{/* Some comment*/}}\n' +
    'Hello\n' +
    ';';
var compiled = dot.template(template, undefined, {});
console.log(compiled({}));

produces:

{{}}Hello

Note: I have posted this same comment on #165.

@ouadi You need to use {{ /* Some comment*/ }}. There may be a place for doT comments that are not included in the compiled function, although I am not sure about the value of such feature.

Probably adding to doT 101 is a good idea #205
