New issue 208 by gwern0: M-;, C-c do not prompt for comment
http://code.google.com/p/yi-editor/issues/detail?id=208

M-; and C-c are Emacs bindings to comment out a line or region. These
bindings ultimately call modeToggleCommentSelection. If a comment syntax is
defined, then modeToggleCommentSelection will make use of it.

But there are many kinds of files and languages which no mode has been
defined for, or the mode doesn't include comment information. In Emacs,
using M-; in such a mode will prompt the user for a (line-based) string to
use as comment. In Yi, modeToggleCommentSelection simply calls fail.

Better would be if it could ask at the minibuffer, like Emacs. (Perhaps
using withMinibuffer?)
