Comments are defined per-language, so you'd have to edit the language
grammar of whatever code you're writing in. Edit either the language
itself or, if the bundle has it, the comment preference item. It would
look something like this:

{name = 'comment';
begin = '\bif \(flase\) \{';
end = '\}';
},

That would be up to the regex you define.

In theory it would work. Search for "code repositories" for more info.
