Does anybody have a macro for producing macros for commenting out text?
I would like e.g. a macro
\newcomment#1
such that using \newcomment{proof}
will make all text between \begin{proof} .. \end{proof}
disappear from the output of TeX -- knowing
that this can be a very large piece of text. 

I know some macros for just commenting, but I don't know
how to generalize them to comment out any environment at will.

Many thanks in advance,
