Super minor nit, with way more verbiage than necessary to follow (on my
part), but this is the first time I've seen this style of code comment in the
codebase.
The norm is usually to use one of the two basic forms - short info comments
just using // for each line, and larger explanatory comments using the standard:
/** (this line typically left blank, for balance with terminating line, but
not essential)
*
*
*/
I'm sure we don't stick to this everywhere, and it's not super important
which style of code comment you use, but it would be preferable to stick to one
of the two most standard formats.
