I would personally mind the extra shortcut I would need to remember.  
It is really a toggling thing in my mind, and I use it mainly for big  
chunks of code that I want to temporarily "turn off".
It simply checks the first line in your selection, so if that line is  
a comment and you want things commented, just start your selection  
from the first uncommented line instead. Or press it twice.

What you are after instead is an "increase/decrease commenting level"  
command. That would be a different command, and trivial to implement  
in most cases.
