Well, one can always do:

    (:if false:)
    comment
    comment
    comment
    (:if:)

I'm not sure that commented blocks deserve their own special markup,
although it might be nice to come up with a name other than 'false' for
the condition (i.e., (:if comment:) ... (:if:)).

Same as PmWiki 1:

     [=    
    (note leading space before [=)
    here is my 
    preformatted text with WikiWords and 
    stuff
    =]

For clarity this one could conceivably get its own directive, as a
lot of authors seem to overlook this use of [=...=] in the documentation.
