The ambiguous case is a comment line that ends with a backslash, so

commenting out all the lines in a group of continued lines works in

all cases, yes.
(Beware how you phrase things: "comment every line that needs to be

commented out" depends on the file format, which isn't what you wanted

to ask...)
