Hi,

Suppose that I have a long pipeline like the above. I'd like to
comment out a cmd (say cmdi) from the pipeline.
Although I can break the pipeline in multiple lines, I can not comment
out a command in the middle.
cmd1 | \
cmd2 | \
...
cmdn
Is there an easy way to comment out a command in a pipeline? Thanks.
cmd1 | ## comment
cmd2 | ## comment
cmd3
The backslashes are unnecessary.
