Block comments are allowed. I fear that the FAQ is seriously out-of-date.
I added the documentation to the manual, see Section 2.7.2 of Getting
Started, back in April, 2009. There is, as you point out, something a
little odd with the parsing.
disp (1);
#{
disp (2);
disp (3);#}
disp (4);
The code above produces what you would expect:
1
4
Having the start of the block on the same line of the code, however,
produces the odd result that the last commented line is actually run.
disp (1);
#{ disp (2);
disp (3);#}
disp (4);
And the output is:
1
3
4
This, hopefully, is a simple fix in the parser.
