IIRC visual studio c# ide won't show any syntax coloring for codes guarded
by #if condition when the condition is set to false in project. therefore I
think commenting using ide block comment or put inside noun definition
should already work are good enough even without any syntax coloring.

@Bill - I've been playing with this technique myself. Besides executing
13!:8, executing '@@' in the script will crash the verb: load, and a line
of @@@… makes a visual signpost.
The resulting error condition can be suppressed by using (load :: haltload).
Even though load has notionally "failed", a
IF there are no anticipated errors in the script, then one can put an
arbitrary sentence that will raise execution error such as 13!:8[3 at the
point of stop loading, and load the script and ignore the error,
0!:0 ::0: foo

I have often wondered about this.
In my own practice, I use Fraser Jackson's Note convention which I think
works very well. The lack of syntax coloring is a minor issue. Also, Jqt
supports add/delete Note from the keyboard with Ctrl+Shift+/ .
The problem with any convention like @@ is that it wil
