Subject: Re: Comments on Comments (was Re: Getting to 100 (#119))

The superfluous comments can be good, especially for learners, it can  
be like a tutorial or a book, but perhaps verbose comments should be  
included in a separate copy of the source. Then they can be read side  
by side. Of course that ends up being a version control pain in the  
butt too.
Now, if Ruby had multi-line comments... code folding could take care  
of that.
