VHDL block comment

Hi, as far as I know the only way to mark a line as a comment in VHDL is to start the line with the characters "--" and it is not possible to make a block comment like it is usual in C/C++...

If using the Quartus text editor you can highlight the text you want, and along the left are two icons to comment or uncomment selected text. Very useful for this. (I'm still amazed block comments haven't been added to VHDL, but most people don't need them with these types of editors)
