Apparently IDEA does it this way.  Sounds like a good idea to me;  I know some
work is being done on this action anyway for 6.0.

This is definitely a usability thing. IDEA allows you to repeatedly hit cmd-/ and comment out multiple lines. This is
much simpler than first selecting all the lines and then hitting the shortcut. 

Also, consider the cases where you want to comment a few lines, then leave a few and then comment a few. In IDEA this
just go to the starting line and hit cmd-/ until you reach the first line to leave, hit the arrow key until you reach
the next line to comment, then hit cmd-/ again.
