I'm trying to extend a "copy and comment" action (leveraging one of the numerous 
"smart comment" plugins). I've a simple line-wise command and was trying to extend to it 
work on a visual selection.

It looks like vim is set to work linewise (and only linewise) here. Which is not 
ideal, as rather then commenting a block all at once, I end up with single line 
comment -> copy repetitions.

Things I've tried:

A command with -range. This is meant to work in a blockwise fashion

A mapping to a function. I have trouble getting the start end end lines. I've tried 
using `< and `> but these values don't get set (maybe the function is called 
too soon?).

It seems like there should be a way to manipulate visual blocks in a function, 
but it's not clear to me. Can someone offer assistance?

You might find the following plugins helpful:

vis.vim (http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#VIS) : Performs an arbitrary Ex command on a visual highlighted block NrrwRgn.vim (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3075) : Narrow Region plugin for Vim
  :he /\%c  regexp for restricting match to a specified column
  :he /\%l   regexp for restricting match to a specified line
