Good.  Is there anyone who has objections against (slightly) changing the
behavior of indenting/unindenting/commenting/uncommenting when the end point
of the marked region is at the very start of a line?  The change is that in
that case this line will not be included in the action.

True, it is not efficient, but that is of little concern here -- the user
will hardly do an indent or comment on thousands of lines at once.  But...
if you care to make a patch for it, and if it doesn't cost extra lines of
code, you're welcome.
