/* Function: TryToGetPDBlockComment
*
* If the line iterator is on the starting symbol of a block comment, return it as a <PossibleDocumentationComment>
* and mark the symbols as <CommentParsingType.CommentSymbol>. If the iterator is not on the opening comment
* symbol or there is content after the closing comment symbol making it unsuitable as a documentation comment,
* returns null.
*
* If openingMustBeAlone is set, that means no symbol can appear immediately after the opening symbol for this
* function to succeed. This allows you to specifically detect something like /** without also matching /******.
