I'm wondering if whoever invented this idea might have been thinking of 
things like in the .NET compiled objects where it might be storing 
java-doc-like descriptions of the interface routines in the binaries. 
Technically, comments from the source, but not really what a programmer 
would think of as "comments from the source."  That, module attributes 
(for run-time reflection, whatever they're called in .NET), debugging 
symbols, etc?
