Ruby C-Style Comment on Documentation

I found in Ruby's documentation that C-style comments are supported:

You can insert comment about all places. Two style comment can be used, Ruby style (#.….) and C style ( .….. ) .

Does this mean that Ruby supports /* and */? When I try it, it comes with an error:

target of repeat operator is not specified: /*
test
*/

That is not a grammar for Ruby, but a grammar for Racc (a Ruby equivalent of yacc). Just like yacc files are not C, Racc files are not Ruby.
