If you have to comment/uncomment a large block of code, it can be tedious to
keep entering "//" all the time. It would be nice if comment/uncomment
options were available on the Right-Click/Text menus, much in the same way
that indent/undent are available.  I already know about '/*...*/', but this
would be be more selective, easier to understand for newer users, and more
convenient for the more experienced.  Also, this could be implemented on
other platforms as well.

Note: I wasn't sure where to post this message, so sorry if it seems out of
place.

First: Wrong group for feature requests, this is for discussing the 
POV-Ray source code.

Second: using end of line comment ('//') is counterproductive for 
commenting larger blocks.

Third: You can easily do this with regular expression search & replace.
