And when the section I want to comment out contains a legit doc string in 
the middle, triple-quotes won't work.  There are valid reasons to nest 
comments which have nothing to do with laziness or sloppy code.

Forcing programmers to write clean code with syntax is like teaching a pig 
to sing: it wastes your time and annoys the pig.  Good coding is a state of 
mind, not a parser option.
