Re: comment-dwim has no behavior to comment out the current line without a region

I'm not sure it's much more so, but it's at least as common as
current-indentation, end of line, etc...

Could be.  I'm not saying your idea isn't good.  I'm just saying that it
is not compatible with the current behavior and that the current
behavior makes sense as well.  You may find some other way to combine
comment-indent, comment-kill, and comment-region onto a single key.
E.g. M-; M-; is currently unused.
