I've never tried to nest comment tags, so I'm not sure what would happen, but I would assume the most common use case is to comment out a block of code that already contains a commented out block of code, for the purpose of debugging. I know that I've done that a number of times when I am working on my Python code, and can see how it would be a pain to work with for quick "let's see what happens when i comment this out" tests.

There are other ways to accomplish that like deleting the code in question and adding it back using the undo function of your editor. I am not sure how difficult supporting nested comments would be, but am in favor of simpler code and believe we have bigger problems to solve. Therefore I'm in favor of "won't fix".

For another point of reference, the {% verbatim %}
tag doesn't allow for nested instances either.
And from what I understand, jinja2 doesn't support them either.
I agree with Tim's arguments and I'm marking this ticket as wontfix
consequently. If you want to continue the discussion, try starting a thread on the django-developers
mailing list.
Thanks.
I don't see why it'd be useful. Can you give an example?
