[Help-bash] Any way to make commenting one command in a long pipeline easy

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

cmd1 | cmd 2 | ... | cmdn

Suppose that I have a long pipeline like the above. I'd like to
comment out a cmd (say cmdi) from the pipeline.

Although I can break the pipeline in multiple lines, I can not comment
out a command in the middle.

cmd1 | \
  cmd2 | \
  ...
  cmdn

Is there an easy way to comment out a command in a pipeline? Thanks.
