Yes indeed, such a macro will only allow to "comment" `read'able
symbolic Elisp expressions.

Even then it has another downside: even though the arguments are
ignored, the macro expression will still be evaluated and return
something (nil), so it may change the semantics of a surrounding form.

Why do you want to avoid commenting with ";" btw?
