Comment (by Cerin):
I really wish the devs would re-consider their stance on this issue. No
other templating language has such an unnecessarily verbose multi-line
comment notation. Python allows multi-line comments with 6 characters
(""""""), C with 4 (/**/), HTML with 7 (<!---->)). The fact that Django's
is a whooping 29 characters ({% comment %}{% endcomment %}) seems quite
unreasonable. If the logic for doing so is to maintain the logical
consistency of the tag notation, then the tag notation is broken and
should be fixed. Changing the single-line notation to support multiple
lines would save a lot of unnecessary typing.
