The functionality you gave an example of definitely does NOT work in all cases.
For instance, that can't be used to "comment" out class methods.

The functionality you're looking for is already there,
if ($cond1) {
function hello() { /* version 1 */ }
} else if ($cond2) {
function hello() { /* version 2 */ }
} else ....

Description:
------------
It would be AMAZING if there was an additional extended comment syntax which
allowed nesting and overrode C-style comments. The idea would be to only match
the last comment closure per file to allow commenting out large blocks of
functions which are PHPdoc'd or where a developer used C-style comments for
multi-line comments.
This would only be useful during development since scripts would have to be
backwards compatible with older PHP versions. I have been a PHP developer for
12
years and this would help immensely when debugging code "inherited" from
another
developer!
Even if it could only be enabled with a run time INI setting, that would be
fantastic just to have it available. Perhaps even the tokens could be
customized
via INI setting.
I am imagining something like this...
/*===
foo
// bar
# baz
/* fu */
===*/
man
/* chu */
===*/
If there is any interest in this I would be willing to work on the patch but
would need some mentoring.
