[R] How can I comment out whole chunks of code?

[baptiste auguie]

just a thought: you might want to have a look at the brew package (R- 
forge). Instead of source()ing the document in the R console, you'd  
use brew(). By default, any text is considered a comment, only lines  
contained between <% %> will be run as R code.
