Blockquotes in at least one language

Here's an example that works both in Python and C++

#include <iostream> /* """ */ int main() { std::cout << "Hello World!\n"; } /* """ print("Hello World!") # */ 

Luis Mendo pitched what I think is by far the easiest solution, which is to use comments.

Even easier is two languages with different block commenting styles that are interchangeably correct syntax, but I couldn't be bothered to check.
