Right: "unless it..."

I want it to comment when I tell it to comment,
including when it may already be commented -
nested comment blocks.  And I want it to uncomment
when I tell it to uncomment.  This particular DWIM
doesn't do-what-I-want.  (It may do-what-you-want.)

What the code says.  Regardless of the columns
of point and mark, their lines and the lines
between them are commented, from bol.

(let ((bol  (save-excursion 
              (goto-char beg) 
              (line-beginning-position)))
      (eol  (save-excursion 
              (goto-char end) 
              (if (bolp) (point) (line-end-position)))))
  (comment-region bol eol arg))
