C comments containing "}" as part of the text would only be shown
partially, e.g:
/*
* Not shown because of the curly closing brace in ${PATH}.
* Shown.
*/
Two examples in git's repo are in refs.h and sha1-lookup.c.
Before diving deeper: Is it worth it? Does the heuristic in this series
produce excessive context often? Enough to be annoying?
Thanks,
