Ahh, thanks, I see — well, I kinda use comments the other way around:
single # for code that's commented out (even if it's a block of code),
double (or more) for textual comment, such as when I explain
something, etc.  I'd say for those using this command, it wouldn't
actually hurt to "double-click" the shortcut (afterall, the text
remains selected and it's incremental, just like the Indent/Unindent
command).

Wonder what other users think about it :)
