I agree completely.  Also, some of the special cases, like (f == -1)
are quite mysterious.

If anybody is writing comments, please format them to work with
Doxygen <www.doxygen.org>, which is quite similar to Javadoc.
Basically, you just need to mark documentation comments with /** **/;
there are other tags you can use either by copying existing examples
or looking at the Doxygen web site.

You can see the results here:

I know people usually want to look at the source in an editor rather
than a web browser, but even so having a standard format for comments
might be good.
