It might, but I find that I never use it.

Write code like

        /* bla
           blabla
           blablabla
           blablablabla */

Then remove the "/*".  At first, only the first line will be refontified
and the rest will stay as "comment" but after about 3 seconds, the
rest gets refontified properly.
