Description
I propose a comment character that will comment out code that appears before the occurence of the character.
Ex:
Global <comment character> Local $variable = _function()
I'm sure there could be better uses than the example that I came up with here. As far as any available characters that could be used... ? Maybe a char combination of an exclamation and a semicolon (!;).

Replying to Valik:
What practical purpose does this serve? People write and read code left-to-write. You do not want to read a piece of code only to learn it was just a comment. That makes no sense.
Because the commented code will be greyed out...

That last comment was me btw
I guess the most practical purpose would be rapidly comment out a suspicious section of one line of code to see if it is causing any problems.
