Yeah it took me a while to adopt this common practice when I need to "comment out" a large block of code. Just use the preprocessor, it's much simpler.

FWIW, replacing comments with whitespace is also done by the preprocessor.

That and other things I dislike about many of the new fangled languages.

I prefer using completely unfangled languages, thank you very much.
