Has someone told, that we have already something like 
multiline comments?

Just make the piece of code you want to comment out
a string with %{ .... }. It's also possible to nest them.

For example Python users often use this (with """ thus not nestable), 
especially for documenting classes/methods.

The only problem I can see is that if it occurs at the end of a method/block
it's taken as return value.
