Perhaps a bit off-topic, but what is the point of the file identifiers?

IMO, it helps to tell things apart when you've got a bunch of editor
windows open on some mighty samey-looking meson.build files.

On the other hand, maintaining those identification lines in all of
our files has a pretty high distributed cost. I never use them to
figure out what file I'm editing because my editor can tell me that.
But I do have to keep fixing those lines as I create new files. It's
not the most annoying thing ever, but I wouldn't mind a bit if I
didn't have to do it any more.

I agree it's not very useful and a bit annoying.
