IIUC, this is indeed needed, thank you.
A few comments, tho:
- It should not create new commands.  Instead it should set
  (un)comment-region-function buffer-locally.
- It should use the default (un)comment-region functions internally
  (e.g. first quote all "--", then call the default comment-region).
- I don't think you need to turn "--" into "\-\-".  Turning them into
  "-\-" should be sufficient.
- comment-region followed by an uncomment-region should also work on
  a region which already contains comments with a quoted "--"
  (i.e. with a "-\-").  For that I think you also need to quote "-\-" to
  "-\\-" and to unquote "-\\-" to "-\-" (and same for any number of
  backslashed between dashes).

Would you like to try to submit  revised patch?
