...except it of course deletes the comments, not the lines
they are on. Line-wise commands make little sense for
syntax groups, as you example

demonstrates. What if the line contains three comments?
How one indents each?
If the goal is :g with the set of lines determined by the
presence of some syntax group *anywhere and any number of
times* in the line, this makes sense and can be done by
scanning the buffer, looking at syntax groups and then
running the specified command -- SrchRplcHiGrp might be be
a good start for such a function.
