I couldn't find anything in Clojure that would correspond to Common
Lisp's reader conditionals, in particular the extremely useful #-(and)
idiom.

I would like to suggest the inclusion of a reader macro: #* or something
of the kind, that would simply ignore the form right after it. That
would allow for easy out-commenting of entire forms.

The reader macro should preferably be very short and easy to type, as it
gets used quite often. I initially thought about #!, but that seems to
have been taken for unix shell scripting support.
