I don't think so. Personally, I'd rather work on getting the parser to behave properly in all cases on
if (FALSE){

Including cases where "...lots of lines..." isn't syntactically correct?
e.g.
if (FALSE) {
if(foo){.... - do something here....
}You can currently make the 'if'd out bit a big string:
foo <- function(bar){
if(FALSE){
"
Foo
if(foo){
"
}
return(99)
}- Ooh, its almost a python """string""". Of course you cant have quotes in it, but if you have an end-block-comment signifier of any sort you cant have that signifier in your block anyway...
[R-1.9.1 seems to want backslash continuation characters inside multi-line quotes, R 2.0.0 doesn't]
