Okay, for a heavyweight solution...

#if 0
/*
blah blah
*/
#endif

or even

#if 0
/* {-
blah blah
- -} */
#endif


#if 0
- -- // blah blah
#endif
is also okay (if we are okay with requiring the cpp to recognize "//" as
a comment)

hmm... this is not so nice... are there cpp's actually used for Haskell
for which #if 0/#endif can't comment non--(C)-tokens? (or might there be
in the future?)
