To tell you the truth, I'm not very enthusiastic at the idea of using
one of the few remaining bindings for such a small feature.  I'd much
rather provide a "mark-line" key that could then be combined with M-; to
comment out the current line (since it would then be usable in other
contexts as well).

I think that M-; M-; holds more promise.
