BTW, another method is to just insert a quote char ' before the sexp.
While it has the same effect of commenting out, this has the advantage
that you can still edit the sexp normally, you can e.g. still copy parts
of it to another position etc. without the need to uncomment or restore
a destroyed paren structure.
