Description

tools like eslint support a general "disable this rule until I enable it myself" concept. We should have something similar in bsc. Like this:

'bs:disable 1001
print varNotThere
print varNotThere
print varNotThere
'bs:enable 1001
print varNotThere
        ~~~~~~~~ error: 1001 var not defined.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating how bsc parses comments and emits diagnostic 1001, then trace how diagnostics can be suppressed and re-enabled; done means repeated 1001 warnings are ignored only between the matching bs:disable and bs:enable comments, while later warnings still appear.
