You'd do that if you're "boxing" in your comments, like so:
------------------------------------------------------
--  This comment describes the key realization for  --
--  proving Huffman-encoding as the/a space-optimal --
--  encoding; if two message frequencies are equal  --
--  then their encodings may be swiched without any --
--  change to the final length of the encoding.     --
------------------------------------------------------

ps, you'll need to use a monospaced font for that to look right.
