R devel - Feb 2010 - Feature Request: Multiline Comments

Hello,
Is it possible to extend the R lexer/parser to include multiline comments like
/*
acomment

*/
?
This way I can integrate emacs org-mode with my R code, so that I can
have a table of contents,
section folding, html-output of source etc.

e.g
/*
* Display Code
*/
#+BEGIN_SRC R

foo <- function(...){
stuff
}

#+end_src

and so on .

Thanks
Saptarshi

  This comes up from time to time, and the typical answer is "no,
it's not that easy, block-commenting and -uncommenting is easy in
any code editor (including Emacs). However, there are a number of
R/Emacs/ESS gurus on this list, and maybe someone will answer your
more general "is there a way to integrate org-mode with my R code"
question ...

And also the very excellent org-babel, which can be used with R!

Aah, yes I have read these. But my use is a bit different. I do not want R
output to be collected.  I wanted a nice IDE for R in emacs. So using
multiline comments and org-mode, i can have collapsible sections and
bookmarks in the source
.  I already use narrow-region to restrict views, but
its nice to open an R source file with a TOC, click on an entry and start
editing the function.

Thanks
