Of course.  You can always insert the other style by hand, for example.

Sure.  Coding it is trivial.  The difficult aspect is to find a convenient
user interface for it.  The difficulty is that it should be more convenient
than doing the edit by hand, which is often pretty simple to do.

Maybe a good feature would be a toggling function that changes the style of
the comment-around-point.  That would be a bit less trivial to code.
