> How so?

You basically said it in the following sentence, the feature is for toggling 
blocks of code on/off during development without worrying about internal 
comments, its not for setting/unsetting comments for permanent use, which is 
why I made the note about users misunderstanding the feature and breaking it by 
setting the marker to something common in normal comments, like space.

Perhaps the feature should be renamed so it isn't the same as comment/uncomment 
in other editors, so users don't assume its the same without understanding it.

> make sure we only ever toggle on

Well, in this use that is all we need, so (without looking at how complex it 
is) we could add an extra parameter to the toggle comment code to limit it to 
on for uncommented lines only.  Or make a separate function, YMMV.

>  e.g. consider all lines uncommented no matter what.

Won't that double comment comments which is sure to cause issues full of 
commented comments comments. :grin:
