When hs-show-block reveals a collapsed comment block it preserves the
position of the cursor. This honors the "principle of least
astonishment". By contrast when hs-hide-block collapses a comment
block it moves the cursor to the comment's left boundary. This is
unexpected and a jarring asymmetry w.r.t. hs-show-block.
The following patch maintain the cursor column whenever possible:
--- cur/hideshow.el
+++ fix/hideshow.el

(defun hs-hide-comment-region (beg end &optional repos-end)
"Hide a region from BEG to END, marking it as a comment.
Optional arg REPOS-END means reposition at end."

I tried the patch, and it does indeed make the behaviour more logical,
so I've now applied it to Emacs 27.
