I was expecting the command to scan the selection for uncommented  
lines. If there exists at least one uncommented line, then it would  
know to comment all lines.

On the other hand, I suppose there may be situations where the  
desired behavior is to remove any commenting that exists. So, the  
best solution IMHO is to split the command into two: Comment Line and  
Uncomment Line. After all, I don't see a real benefit for the command  
to try to guess what I want it to do, especially when it can easily  
guess wrong. I wouldn't mind an extra command in exchange for the  
extra accuracy.

Ah, that works; thanks!
