I would make the case that `=3Dbegin`/`=3Dend` is rare because it ca= n't be indented. Multiline comments are very handy. It makes syntax hig= hlighting much cleaner for embedded content (in my case, documentation) if = every line doesn't have to start with a comment from the outer language= .

Feature #13518: Indented multiline comments

I'd like to submit the idea that multiline comments could be indented. = That is, `=3Dbegin` and `=3Dend` do not have to start at column zero. That = would allow for more flexibility in documenting and commenting code.

= =E2=80=8BDoes anybody write actual POD in their =3Dbegin/=3Dend blocks?

Personally, never use them to disable code be= cause to my (Perl programmer's) eye they're strictly for documentat= ion.=C2=A0 And I don't use them for that because RDoc does it different= ly.
