Can you execute a function in an Oracle comment/hint?

I'm pretty sure I saw someone demonstrate the syntax for this before,
but I've looked everywhere and can't find it now.  What I'm trying to do
is execute a function in the in-line comment of a query, like this:
 

select /* sys_context('USERENV', 'SESSION_USER') */ sysdate from dual;


But, it's not working.  The above query gets executed, but the
sys_context function is not being executed, it's just being treated as a
comment.  What I want is for this query to show up as:


select /* SCOTT */ sysdate from dual


In v$sql.sql_text.

Is this possible, or am I just imagining having seen this before?

Thanks,
Brandon
