I don't like the idea of commenting out code blocks. The code will be hard to read as code (as a comment!?) with no font lock (or worse: the same color as the "real" comments which are now drowned). It'll just be bulky and in the way. I have a better idea, and that is for the OP to split his init file into several files all dedicated a specific area of configuration and/or extention. The OP mentioned 900 lines of Elisp - myself, I use several files and very few are longer than 100 lines (those which are often has ambitious documentation inline which makes for a huge bulk of lines). Besides many other advantages, in this specific situation, one could load all the files from .emacs (with `load-file') and then just comment out a single line to not have a specific file loaded. -- underground experts united
