Using spin() with langages other than R

[Hemken]

This is related to issues #1605 and #1773. Because spin() relies on R's code parsing to identify multiline comments, no other language can be spun.

(I use an older version of spin() with Stata and SAS code, occasionally.)

For code written wholly in another language, I propose the solution is to simply skip the R code parsing. The cost is that spin will not recognize multiline comments in languages other than R.
