You know, that's exactly why most languages allow comments.
And a particular reason that I like Ada; the comments themselves tend
to be written better (this is purely subjective and highly dependent
on my own experiences/exposures and more informative than any of the
"curly-brace" languages. {Javadoc being perhaps an exception; its
verbosity & rigid structure is quite the double-edged sword and it is
easy for the documentation and code to get out of sync ESP. by someone
using some quick "cut-n-paste programming".}
