If you do not provide a prefix arg, comment-kill should only kill
1 comment.  Indeed when providing a prefix arg, the behavior is probably
not right.  Actually, when I wrote it I just tried to reproduce the
previous behavior.  But in the presence of multi-line comments, the
behavior doesn't match the docstring either.

I don't know of anybody who uses the prefix arg of comment-kill, so if
you could explain how you use it, it might help decide what the behavior
should be.
