Comments clashes with (*)

[correnson]

There is a missing rule for the special token (*).
It is currently interpreted as an opening block comment (* without any matching *) by the ocaml language definition.

In a personal project, I fixed this kind of issue by adding a special rule in the syntax definition, explicitly adding token \\(\\*\\) to the list of operator matching rules :

  "operators": {
    "patterns": [
      {
	"name": "keyword.star",
	"match": "\\(\\*\\)"
      }
    ]
  }

This made the trick for me, provided the operators rules are loaded before comments.
