In your example with 50% of the lines commented the comment toggle is
force-commenting. But is this what I want?
Example:

   %\startextrule
   blabla
   blabla
   %%% refs??
   %\stoptextrule

   bla

   %\starttextrule
   blabla
   %\stoptextrule

   blablabla

I may want to comment the whole block or just reactivate the textrules.
Hitting a comment toggle as you described above would always comment the whole
block.

So, I clearly prefere to have the ability to decide myself if to comment or to
uncomment.

Greetings,
Thomas
