If you're editing with Emacs, it is really easy to reflow paragraphs and to insert or remove multiline comments each prefixed with #. But with other editors, it can be a PITA and a multiline string is the easiest to maintain and works well when cutting-and-pasting the comments from somewhere else. Just FYI it is also very easy in vim: gq plus whatever movement prefix suits the situation.

And to comment out multiple lines in vim, each prefixed with #, see ":help v_b_I" and ":help v_b_I_example".
