And neither have I :-(

uncomment-region is new in XEmacs 21.5, starting with r21-5-12, coming
in via sync from GNU Emacs.

comment-region, though, can still be used with C-u prefix to uncomment
region.

I wonder if this duplication of functionality will not lead to stuble
compatibility issues (some using uncomment-region, others C-u
comment-region)?
