The current version of the VSCode Sonarlint plugin (v1.17.0) produces a false positive error. It detects the second line in the following comment wrongly as commented out code:
// Regarding $mode in recursive calls:
// * self is a must to have the fallback item itself included;
// * respect the original caller about whether to include variants or not;
// * others should be excluded as they'll be handled here in loops.
Hello @micgro42 ,
thank you very much for your feedback.
I have verified your example. We will now look at how we can avoid such false positives.
I will come back to you when we have decided on further steps.
Best,
Nils
Hi @micgro42,
we decide to revise the implementation of the rule to reduce the false positive noise to a minimum.
I have created the ticket SONARPHP-1028, so you can be up to date. Thanks again for your report. We will announce it also here when the problem is resolved.
Best,
Nils
Thank you for looking into this, I really appreciate it! 
It has been released in SonarLint VSCode 1.18 (https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SLVSCODE-149)
