the readable comments are out of date when i make changes, and i've
seen some cases (independent of my changes) where they're out of date.
i'd rather push for better tooling and get people used to that than
rely on possibly stale comments.  the other option is where the files
are just always encoded in UTF-8 as discussed in an older thread and
then there's no need for comments at all.
