But C-c C-c skips comments right? This should be the default. 

With ess-eval-region is a bit trickier. It's pretty easy to remove one
liner, but considerably much more difficult to get rid of multiline
comments. 

Does stata support multilne comments? That is,  doe you need


 /* foo 
    zoo
 */  
 
 di "bar"


or, just handling 


 /* foo */
 /* zoo */
 
 di "bar"

would be enough?
