From a code point of view, it'd be trivial if lines with at least one "!", and ONLY "!", space, and tab, were treated as "ignore this line"... then we could reuse how it handles line-comment-only lines.

I'm for it, but I'm not sure whether indentation matching should be
enforced:

define long-func(x)
   let outer ((foo bar(x)))
   ! let inner ((y z))
   ! ! do stuff
   ! ! ...
   !
   ! ! more stuff
   ! ! ...

In this case, is "more stuff" a child of "inner" or "outer"?  Even in
the first example, having a space after the ! on the blank line would
throw off the indentation, right?

I think I've convinced myself that indentation should NOT be enforced.
Anybody else?

Thanks,
Dave
