It is truly remarkable how many times I have answered this question in
the recent past. Anyway, here goes again:

{\catcode`\{= 12 \catcode`\}= 12 \catcode`\@=11 
 \catcode`\[=1 \catcode`]=2 
 \catcode`\|=0 \catcode`\\=12 
 |global|long|def|@comment#1\end{comment}[|end[comment]]
 |global|def|comment[|let|do|@makeother|dospecials|@comment]]

Use it as follows:

  \begin{comment}
    ...
  \end{comment}

no nesting, sorry!
