Description

currently @ts-ignore only mutes the errors from the line immediately below it

would be great to have the same for

  1. the whole next block
  2. also for all imports
use case:

refactoring: commenting out a piece of code to see what would break without it, yet avoiding to deal with the errors in the file where commented code is which can be many
