If this is really an issue, couldn't you just #declare the object, then
comment out the call?  That is, instead of
sphere { <0,0,0>, 1 color Green ignore}

you'd write

#declare MySphere =
    sphere {<0,0,0>, 1 color Green}

object {MySphere} // to show it
//object (MySphere) // to hide it

With the added advantage that it's easy to abstract the object definition to
an #include file and then just use the call to include the object.
