[R] Multi-line comments?

What editor are you all using to write R code?  Many will have ways of doing what you want, e.g., comment-region (bound  by default to M-; through comment-dwim) in Emacs.

Just like you, I have been longing for that myself. It seems that the
answer is negative, so I have ended up using

if (1==0)
{
   # code goes here
}

although is not really nice to look at.
