You don't actually need a macro in that case:
if 0 { q<
...
> }
And if you have unbalanced quote-delimiting brackets in the "...", you can
switch to different bracketing characters (including arbitrary Ps/Pe or
bidi-mirroring Unicode pairs), or simply add more brackets:
if 0 { q<<<<
... # >>> with unmatched pointies
>>>> }
