Not every editor does this. Perl is supposed to be flexible and make things
easy. It is not more flexible nor easier to require a programmer to use a
certain type of editor.

I disagree that the "only" use of multiline comments is to (temporarily)
disable a piece of code. Again we should not presume to force programmers to
do anything just one way.
