Debrief

Stupid comment tricks

* ctrl-alt-; comments out the selected text
* pound-bar and bar-pound (`#|`  and `|#`) can be used to comment out
  a longer section of text

```
#|
Look, DrRacket ignores this!
(define x 10) ; This, too!

Other pronunciations of "#" include hashtag, hash, pound, mesh,
number sign, and octothorpe.  Confused Microsoftheads call it "sharp",
but it's not.  (Arguably, # is not a traditional octothorpe, either.
But it's been called octothorpe for a long time.)

Other pronunciations of "|" include pipe, vertical bar, and broken line.
|#
