Subject: M-; doesn't comment lines in Octave mode

 In Octave mode, select a line or several lines of code.
I would expect M-; would comment the lines, or uncomment
them if they are already commented out. Instead, Octave
starts a comment at the end of the line the comment is on,
which is the behavior I would expect if no lines were selected.
