I have scripts cos (comment out shell) and coc (comment out C)
so that, for example, !}cos comments out a paragraph with '#' at the
beginning of each line and !}cos comments out a paragraph with /*...*/.

cat ~/bin/cos:
#!/usr/bin/perl
while (<>) {
	s/^/#/;
	print
}

-----------------------------

cat ~/bin/coc:
echo '/*'
cat
echo '*/'

------------------------------
