Add better support for documentation in comments

VS 2012 doesn't make it easy to write documentation in JavaScript source files. When you type /// to write XML documentation in C#, VS automatically fills in the proper tags to add a summary, and if the comment is before a function declaration, adds in tags for the function parameters as well. When you add another line to the comment, VS also automatically adds in the /// to start the line. In JavaScript, when you type ///, you just get three slashes.

Alternatively, you could add support for JSDoc style comments, which are easy to write and are supported by other IDEs such as Netbeans (and by JSDoc naturally).

        This shouldn't have to be requested. It should have been a no brainer. I can pick NetBeans, Aptana, Notepad++ and type in /** and a comment template starts. I know M$ doesn't like anything that is actually a standard but this frustrating to say the least.

        Add support for JsDoc comments.
