The fact that you can't do this with new fangled languages is one of the reasons I don't use new fangled languages

That and other things I dislike about many of the new fangled languages.

I prefer using completely unfangled languages, thank you very much.

FWIW, replacing comments with whitespace is also done by the preprocessor.
