I would definitely use a feature like this, particularly for
temporarily commenting out values.

I won't weigh in on syntax preference-- I doubt I'd have a problem

Just to make a general point: don't dismiss ideas like this because
the improvement seems too small-- one of the more popular features of
modern perl is "say".
