That's neat - it'd also let you comment out blocks of code quickly and
easily. Even nicer would be a mechanism where commenting out the line
containing a block command could comment the whole block upto the 'end'
statement. You'd need an explicit block comment symbol, rather than using
#, so that it doesn't break anything like

  # if a
  if b #let's not use a for the time being
    do this
  end
