Disable syntax highlighting in doc comments

[jacob-hughes]

Is there a way to disable syntax highlighting in doc comments? I see this feature was introduced in b508cb1 and for the most part can be very useful. However, when working with heavily doc-commented codebases -- especially the standard library -- things tend to blur into one and I struggle at a glance to differentiate between code and comments.

#248 suggests such a switch doesn't exist. However, I'm hoping there might be some sort of hack I can add to my vimrc in the meantime to prevent this part of syntax highlighting from loading. Would you be able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks
