I think you're being a little "picky" here. The intent behind the
Comment region/Uncomment region menu items is to provide a quick
and easy way of disabling/enabling smallish portions of script on
the fly, with a mouse gesture rather than fallible typing. It's
the sort of thing I might use when messing with a gretl script in
front of a class, where keyboard access is awkward.
I can't easily imagine how it could work well on a chunk of script
that includes both active commands and comments; certainly the
code would have to be a good deal more complicated.
Allin.
