Haha. I just proved you right. Common lisp apparently has block comments.

  Of course it does. #| this is commented out |#. Comment syntax is usually something "special" in each language anyway.

    And I didn't know it, hence me thinking there were 5 arguments.

      That's all one expression, and there are 5 argument to the list procedure: 1.) a list containing three numbers, a symbol, and a character, 2.) a complex number, 3.) a string, 4.) the symbol "NIL", 5.) the empty vector.

        I shouldnt have read it a second time on my phone. I was right the first time. :)

  You can use them as block comments. But they are actually just reader macros which return nothing. They skip over the enclosed content.
