     To prevent a section of code from being compiled by
     surrounding it with a conditional compilation directive
     whose condition is always false.  The canonical examples of
     these directives are "#if 0" (or "#ifdef notdef", though some
     find the latter bletcherous) and "#endif" in C.  Compare
