A problem with the Note wrapper is that it probably breaks things if it is 
invoked inside or on a multiline defnition ( extra terminating ')')

The good thing about separate comment on/off keys is commenting a set of lines 
that already has a comment line.

With that said, its probably OK if you really want it to be.

Subject: [Jbeta] comment keys

The Jqt editor currently uses Ctrl+Shift+N to comment lines and
Ctrl+Shift+B to uncomment them. These keys have been used in J for many
years, but are non-standard.

The usual practice in text editors is to use Ctrl+/ as a toggle and
Ctrl+Shift+/ as a block toggle, i.e, in J804:

  Ctrl+/                toggle NB. on/off on selected lines
  Ctrl+Shift+/       toggle Note on/off, i.e. wrap selected lines in Note''
.... )

Is this OK?
