DOCSTRING

(ignore-line-comments nlines))
(beginning-of-line 2)
(ignore-multiline-comment (1- nlines)))))
In addition to suggestions made by others, i would replace the
(current) recursion w/ iteration, so as to future-proof against
large ‘nlines’ (maybe the text has short multiline comments now,
but you never know what weirdness may inspire the programmer to
wax eloquent in the future :-D).
