Or, for the Python fans, Ruby supports

"""Remember that
Ruby is expression-oriented
(and has implicit string concatenation..."""

Of course, it isn't too good having any of these in a oft-repeated loop, 
and mine won't be too happy if the comment contains a '"'.

But then again, given a decent editor, I'm not sure I've ever felt the 
need for multi-line comments in Ruby. Given an editor that understands 
word-wrap in comment mode, I much prefer having an explicit comment 
character at the start of each line; it seems to make scanning the file 
easier.
