Conceivable.  The proper way to do this would be to create @+ignore and
@-ignore sentinels.

When writing an @ignored tree, the tree would be written as usual, with body
text "quoted" (commented out).

When reading a .leo file, all body text between the @+-ignore sentinels
would be unquoted.

However, this has extremely low priority with me.  Furthermore, the
"ignored" body is *not* ignored in the external file, it is simply commented
out.

To repeat, there are several obvious workarounds.  You can move the @ignore
tree so that it gets written to the .leo file, or you can put the @ignore
tree (sans the @ignore) inside an @thin tree with an @all at the top.
