Ruby's block comment looks like this:
=begin
We're in a comment here. Both the =begin and the =end must be the first elements on a line for this to work.
=end

<do this>
$ acroread Programming\ Ruby.pdf
Search for =begin
Page 218:
</do this>
Looks like a line starting with "=begin" and a line starting with "=end"
will comment out a chunk of code.

Are there any plans on introducing shorter form in ruby 2?
The form isn't that much of a problem, but the fact that something like that isn't possible
puts "hey" =begin

Using all pound signs is more common - I only see the =begin / =end
style for file headers. Just Learn To Use Your IDE/Editor, and use
whicheverkeycombo it provides for line-commenting a paragraph, and
letting you span such a comment over multiple lines easily. I -think-
ruby-mode for Emacs supports auto-fill for that. Might be thinking of
another language though.
