What's the use of putting a single line comment between a multiline comment?

In multi-lines comment section you said "you can nest single-line comments within multi-line comments". But, what's the use of putting a single-line comment between a multi-line comment?

Multi-line comments are sometimes used to turn code into comments to prevent it from running. Single-line comments might be inside that code. It'd be annoying to have to remove them!
