Yeah but the the damage is already done then.
What I was trying to explain was, if you paste a text like this into the 
editor:

---
This is some text with debug information
and is just used to explain my point.
And there should be a bunch more lines below this one with preserved 
words in them.
---

It becomes this, even before you have a chance to comment it:

---
This IS some text WITH DEBUG information
AND IS just used TO explain my point.
AND there should be a bunch more lines below this one WITH preserved 
words IN them.
---

Even if you arrange enough blank lines with a ' in front before you 
paste it over them. You get this:

---
'This is some text with debug information
AND IS just used TO explain my point.
AND there should be a bunch more lines below this one WITH preserved 
words IN them.
'
'

That wouldn't be the case if you can put an /*
and */ and can paste between those.
Can't explain it any more clearer than this.

Too bad it's a lot of work to implement.
