Research direction
Reproduce the issue in hello.c with the Microsoft C/C++ extension by placing the cursor at the first line and running gCj. Start by tracing the block-comment handling for this command in the VSCodeVim extension. Done means gCj applies the expected comments to the selected lines, matching the expected screenshot.
