title: Is it possible to comment out blocks of code that contain comments?
body: <p>Say I have code like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>some_line_of_code
  some_line_of_code
  /* some comment about code */
  some_line_of_code
  some_line_of_code
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and i would like to comment out a whole block like this </p>
  
  <pre><code>/*
      some_line_of_code
      some_line_of_code
      /* some comment about code */
      some_line_of_code
      some_line_of_code
  */
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As you can see even SO code parser will not consider last 2 lines of code comments. Is it possible to comment out blocks of code that contain comments?</p>
  
  <p>edit :
  To clarify, I need this to be able to comment out large sections of code to check if a function I changed can compile in a package that otherwise can't be compiled until all changes have been done.</p>
