Unique markers are simpler, and independent of the code.  That is if you
change the code, the comment stays the same.

I also suggest that when you're using the editor that processes the comment
markers, that you don't see the markers, you just see the comments.  The
only time you would see these encoded markers is if you were looking at the
file with a different editor.
