 augeas currently has no way to turn paths into comments.  Say I have a
 configuration file:

 {{{
 [foo]
 bar=1
 baz=1
 }}}

 There is no way in augeas to simply get this:

 {{{
 [foo]
 ;bar=1
 baz=1
 }}}

 Of course I can 'rm' the path to get the same effective result, but
 commenting out lines seems like a good practice to me.  I know I can chain
 augeas with sed but it kinda defeats the purpose :)
