Inline comments before code (as opposed to text) should not enforce: 'ERROR | No space before comment text; expected "//'

In the case where inline comments are used to comment out code, I do not agree with this rule:

ERROR | No space before comment text; expected "//

One reason I don't agree with it is that if I use a modern IDE like NetBeans or Eclipse to comment out code (the inline "comment out" function) it fails the above test.

Example: imagine this is some code I am working on:

  $a = $b + 1;
  //$a = $b + 2;

The 2nd line triggers the above ERROR.

There is another slight problem if one does have it formatted to meet the current Coder rule, with a space. Let's say I had it so it passes the test.

  $a = $b + 1;
  // $a = $b + 2;

Now if I say delete the 1st line and uncomment the 2nd line there is a space before the 2nd ' $a'. One has to remember to remove that space, otherwise Coder complains about the alignment. Again, if one uses say NetBeans uncomment, it does not remove that space.

Perhaps relatively trivial, but nevertheless I think this should be relaxed.

Basically, as far as inline comments are concerned, I am finding Coder far too "bossy". In general, feel that inline comments are a space/zone where developers should be free to use their own habits and practices.
