More elaborate sequences of pure old ex commands can also be used to create boxes around C/C++ blocks; but they are really horrid to type every time so they have to be mapped to some key sequence and entails consistently using the same register every time.

For example: map gC :'a,. s/^/ */^M:.
s/\(.*\)/\1^V^V^M **************\//^M:'a
s/\(.*\)/\/**************^V^V^M\1/^M

maps the sequence gC to a macro which wraps a block of text, from the current line back to the line marked by the "a" in a C style comment like:
