Seems to be a “your milage varies”. I am fine with whatever the
final decision is. However, I do believe the comment above reads
better and aligns the methods better.
FWIW, and as author of many of the lines being changed, I prefer that
comment on a separate from the actual modifiers. I think the basic
modifier patterns are easier to recognize quickly when comments and
annotations are separate.
Personally I prefer to place such pseudo-modifiers on the same line
as the actual modifiers, but I accept that some prefer otherwise.
When in doubt, respect the original author’s choice.
Thanks for your comments. The separate-line version it is then!
