No, that was specifically in response to "I like header files because it 
gives me a nice summary of the functionality of the code." I'd rather have 
the specification of the code there once, and to have tools to generate 
documentation from the code, rather than to have the compiler require me to 
write the same specification twice just so it knows there's documentation.

I dunno - on big projects, I usually wind up writing a program that reads my 
.C files and generates the .H files automatically anyway. But then, I'm the 
kind of programmer who documents code before writing it, which is apparently 
terribly rare.
