(Haven't looked at your patch.)
Sounds like a reasonable, and useful thing to do.
However, `comment-region' also has optional behaviors
that involve its use of a prefix arg. How with those
interact with what you propose? Do they even make
sense (e.g. nesting comment levels and unnesting them)?
My guess is that what's needed is a separate command.
I'm guessing completely different prefix-arg behavior
would be appropriate for multi-line comments. Maybe
you can find a way to merge the two without confusing
users (and the doc). Or maybe it's not worth trying
to do that, and a separate command makes more sense.
Dunno.
