Actually there are already commenting-related menu items
in many mode menus, for example, in emacs-lisp-mode:

  Emacs Lisp -> Comment Out Region

in c-mode:

  C -> Comment Out Region
       Uncomment Region
       Fill Comment Paragraph

However, they are inconsistent and vary from mode to mode.
So maybe a new option like 'context-menu-items'
could support a set of symbols, where a possible symbol for
mode-independent comment-related menu items could be 'comment'.
