Details:

The function


function quick_countdown
   # Count down for main rocket engines
   disp(3);
   #{
   disp(2);
   disp(1);
   #}
   disp("Blast Off!");  # Rocket leaves pad
endfunction


behaves as expected (displaying only '3'). But if one replaces the first block
comment with '#{ some text' it ignores the block comment entirely, that is, it
treats '#{' and '#}' as normal comments.

If this is not a bug the documentation should state explicitly that block
comments should be the only thing on the line.
