[ZPT] Equivalent of <dtml-comment>

Well, it's just a tad too verbose, if used frequently. Furthermore, it 
does not let the comments "stand out" from the running code, nor is it 
easily searchable.

I find the "nothing" keyword invaluable in replacing the dtml-call tag, 
when I need to call somethind and *not* have the result show up in a 
page, as in

<span tal:condition="here/SQLInsertRecord" 
tal:replace="nothing">INSERTRECORD</span>

In most cases one would not want to describe to the world the inner 
workings of a web application, I guess.
