Greetings from Switzerland!
Are there any plans/initiatives/considerations in future versions of R for commenting out regions via something like " /* */ "?
(I've got an application for which something like that would be useful; if not, there are less simple solutions).
I normally use if(FALSE) {}: I also tend to use #if 0 #endif in C code, as otherwise you have to worry about nesting of comments.
We are currently working on internationalization of R, and a 2-char escape sequence doesn't look like a good idea to me.
