I doubt there's something like that. You can freeze arbitrary blocks of code

1, 3, 3, 1,
1, 4, 6, 4, 1,);

But that gets old and ugly pretty quickly.
Can those comments be added by a preprocessor before calling perltidy,
and then removed on completion?
I imagine so, but we'd need a way of determining algorithmically which lines to protect. That might not be at all simple. And then we'd have the maintenance burden of the preprocessor.
