comment-dwim on a comment line does not toggle comment |

this appears to be like a bug.
in emacs-lisp-mode, if you have a comment like this:
;; This is a comment
and your cursor is somewhere on that line. Now, do comment-dwim, it
doesn't uncomment the line. It just moves the cursor to the “T”
in “This”.
Same behavior in cperl mode and probably all others.
I think this might be by design, but it seems counter-intuitive.
In GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0, Carbon Version 1.6.0)

This is the way M-; has worked for as long as I can remember.
It also re-indents the comment, if needed. If you want to uncomment,
then select the line via e.g. C-a C-SPC C-n and then M-; will do what
you asked for.
