OTOH, why not just use

Just curious: Is there anything that \message is missing for what u want? I
tried both inline and multiline combos and they all work like a charm:
Untested, but I am pretty sure
\message{\iffalse}
will fail. Basically, everything inside \message (or the \hide macro by
Wolfgang) needs to be processed by TeX, so strictly speaking it is not
equivalent to a comment.
See the TeX FAQ http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=conditional
for more details.
The most robust solution is to use buffers, but that will not work if the
buffer is part of a macro argument.
The luatex solution (which is again not perfect) that I posted removes
everything inside the comment before it is seeen by TeX.
