I will not talk about type checking with comments, but versioning of comments checked against versioning of the corresponding par of code, will allow iterative reviews of comments in order to ensure that both the code is a correct answer to what is stated buy the comments and that comments has trustable statements about the code. Versioning could be the comments counterpart of type/signature checking in codes. Any way, as there are many langages around there, there will be undoubtly at least as many possible formalisms for properly useful comments. About me, I'm oftenly thinking about something like some kind of attributes to describe implementation properties/roles (simple nesting of methods and packages - when avlailable - does not fullfil all of the possible and useful categorizations of code, whose pieces most of time belongs to multiple views which does not defines a partition).
