Are comments at the end of lines frowned upon for some reason?  The latest 
version of AdaGIDE, during a reformat, moves all such comments to the next 
line.  The statistics program provided by it gives incorrect results when 
end-of-line comments exist.

Finally, not related to Ada, a C style guide I was asked to review had a rule 
that said not to put comments at the end of lines.

Perhaps there is a good reason for this rule, but I can not think of one 
(other than making a statistics tool easy to write by just looking for 
semicolons at the end of lines).
