Block comments allow people to uncomment/comment a whole code block by adding/removing a single '/' character. None of the existing examples clearly demonstrates this ability, so I thought it'd be useful to do so here. The chapter is already very small, so adding a few extra lines should be acceptable.

I actually learned this from Haskell, although I don't use it as often as Rust.
Toggling an entire code block by adding/removing a single character seems very, very useful, so I think it is worth teaching it to users and it deserves a prominent spot in this popular learning resource.
