Subject: Re: equivalent of */   this is a comment /* for ruby?

See http://www.ruby-talk.org/blade/17206

IIRC, it was decided that block comments cause more problems than they
solve, and with a decent editor, you can easily comment out large
portions of code with a few keystrokes anyway, so there's no good
argument for them.

In the vim editor, that's Ctrl-V, highlight the block, Shift-I to
insert, then # and Esc (or Ctrl-C) to insert the comment marks.

In the emacs operating system, that's Ctrl-Space, highlight the block,
Ctrl-X R T to insert, then # and Enter to insert the comment marks.
