hs-minor-mode: hide only some comment

Question

In ESS mode with hs-minor-mode on, I want to collapse only those comments which directly belong to a function, not other comments which are separated by newlines. Take this example:

##############
## Section foo
##############

#' This does foobar
#' Returns nothing.
foobar <- function(x) message("hello")

What I would like the comments to fold into is:

##############
## Section foo
##############

#' This does foobar...
foobar <- function(x) message("hello")

And what I get so far is just:

##############...
foobar <- function(x) message("hello")

Now, is there a way to fold just some "connected" comment sections and keep others unfolded?
