(* A comment
*)

Example from Lua:

--[[

--]]

Example from Julia:

#=
A comment.
=#

Example from Clojure:

)

Example from Scheme:

Example from groff:

text text text...
.ig
This is part of a large block
of text that has been
temporarily(?) commented out.

We can restore it simply by removing
the .ig request and the ".." at the
end of the block.
