feature-request: getValue without comments

[Lor-Saba]

Could you add a parameter to the .getValue(); which returns back the editor content without comments? something like editor.getValue({ trimComments: true });

For example, if I have this content:

/*
    old sum function
    function sum(_a, _b){
        return _a + _b;
    }
*/

var a, b;

// add function
function add(_a, _b){
    return _b + _a;
}

the editor.getValue({ trimComments: true }); should return back:

var a, b;

function add(_a, _b){
    return _b + _a;
}

Same for the other languages (css, html, ...)

My use case: I need to know if the editor contains actual code, not just content.
