Any plans for commenting out region via something like " /* */ "?
I realize this thread is a bit old, but it only just came to my
mind. What about using a function like
commentOut <- function(expr) { invisible() }
and then
commentOut({
a <- 10
bladfkljasdlkfj()
blah blah blah
})
Lazy evaluation prevents the expression from being evaluated so
you don't have to worry about syntatic correctness. And it nests
too (I believe).
Belated US$0.02.

(I've got an application for which something like that would be useful; if not, there are less simple solutions). best, -tony "Commit early,commit often, and commit in a repository from which we can easily roll-back your mistakes" (AJR, 4Jan05).
