Solidity: Incorrect code count from misreading valid comments about tokei HOT 1 OPEN

Just to make it easy for the maintainer - here's my observations:

Consider this:

pragma solidity >=0.4.22 <0.6.0;
/* 
    BLAH
/*/
contract Foo {
    function foo(address bar) public pure {
         require(bar != address(0));
    }
}

It spits out "1 code line, 8 comments"

Problem is Line 4:

It is having trouble deciding whether to consider the first two chars /* and call it the starting of the multi-line comment or to consider the last two characters */ and call it the ending of multi-line comment.

As of now, tokei does the former.

Possible fix (take it w/ a grain of salt): If we know we are in the multi-line comment stack, why not aggressively "eat" characters until we find the closing? I'm sure it's not as trivial a change because languages like c++ have define macros and it shouldn't be the responsibility of tokei to know where your comment actually starts and where it ends.
