Ignore //

[alexeyr-ci]

Bug Description

The officially suggested solution for comments in package.json is using // as a key (https://groups.google.com/g/nodejs/c/NmL7jdeuw0M/m/yTqI05DRQrIJ, npm/npm#4482 (comment)):

... the "//" key will never be used by npm for any purpose, and is reserved for comments ... If you want to use a multiple line comment, you can use either an array, or multiple "//" keys.

depcheck reasonably thinks it's a dependency called // and reports it as unused.
