One problem with documentation comments: sometimes they are before the definition of the commented thing, but sometimes after. They are before functions (which are long) but might come aftre type definitions (which are short). We should probably require them to come before.
I don't see much difficulty in allowing both before and after positions, leaving it to the tools to re-format appropriately. Why introduce a restriction? Regards, Malcolm
