Yes, if you quote a lot of code then it becomes data, data in the
top-level of a file is just thrown away. So, the equivalent of
\endinput is:
'(
Then, at the very end of the file put:
)
It can be useful to use the word "quote" which is equivalent, since this
isn't done in normal programming so it sticks out. In that case begin
with:
(quote
Of course, parenthesis must balance in the blocks commented out for this
to work. "(top-level)" can be used in init files but not in other code.
