[Rd] Any plans for commenting out region via something like " /* */ "?

[A.J. Rossini]

Thanks to Peter and Brian both for pointing out my second option.

For those wondering, I'm adapting a third party tool (hence no
integration with ESS, for which M-x comment-region works really much
better as of the last few releases), and working within a commented
region which could be contextually determined as "commented-out code"
would simplify the process.  The second option just needs a bit more
care (i.e. mapping
   "/*" = if(FALSE){
   "*/" = }
)
can be done if I'm careful.  Though it wasn't necessary that "/*" be
used, just something that was unambiguously identified.

best,
