Details:

Octave already supports multi-line block comments using #{/#} pairs.  The
current parser expects the keywords to be alone on a single line.  It would be
nice if this behavior could be extended to be closer to C-stytle /* */
commenting which can appear anywhere in the line.  If this is at all tricky to
implement then it is not worth it and this issue can be closed.

Currently parser example:

#{
  cos (1);
  sin (1);
#}
  tan (1);


Desired parser example:

#{ cos (1);
  sin (1); #}
  tan (1);
