My problem with this and similar comments is that:
- It is far away from where it matters/refers to.
- it doesn't tell much what "work" means here. If anything, it should signal 
the expectation.

This is usually done by: `// FIXME: why...` or `// no-warning: why...` comments 
attached to the relevant lines. I'd suggest the latter in this context.
