Post Comment blocks do not work.
I tried to comment out a section of my code with /* */ (which works in fine gmod's implementation of lua), but CC told me there was an "unexpected character near /"

Anyone else get this error? I hate having to comment out line by line.

Since comments in .inis are //, I guess Data made them -- in Lua.

I believe the way to do block comments is --[[ and ]]-- .

This too:

In .ini you block comment like this

/*
BLEHBLEHBLEH
BLEHBLEHBLEH
*/

EDIT: OH ♥♥♥♥ I'M DUMB. Serves me right for not reading your post.

Standard lua block comments start with --[[ and are terminated by ]]. I think --]] is just used for syntactic cleanliness.

Garry just added C style commenting because he preferred it to regular commenting in Lua.
