There is precious little "Why" in the comments of a lot of projects - Why does this function exist, why would I call it, why does it return what it does, etc.

BS comments like those within the function don't help, obviously - but sometimes a comment block describing WHY a given chunk of code does what it does would be nice.

I don't see any problems here. If anyone needs to know _why_ some function does

Indeed that would be nice.
