While we're on the subject, are there any plans for a sexp-comment?
Essentially I'm looking for reader syntax that removes the next
expression from the parse tree entirely. (comment ...) returns nil,
which isn't always appropriate. (You can't use it to remove one of the
(arglist body) forms of a defn, for example.) And using semicolons
often requires you to move closing parens to the next line. Block
comments work for this, but I consider them more verbose than
necessary - maybe that's just me.

(I once tried to write a reader macro for CL which would do this, but
the best I got was one which would read two forms and ignore the
first.)
