That was a bit *too* quick and dirty, this works better:

(defun comment-and-dup ()
  "duplicate line at point, and comment the current one"
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (beginning-of-line)
    (push-mark)
    (forward-line 1)
    (let ((str (buffer-substring (region-beginning) (region-end))))
      (comment-region (region-beginning) (region-end))
      (insert-string str)))
  (next-line))


Best wishes,
        Dirk.
