Thanks, I wasn’t sure how many places would need an update, so reverting to unblock before the weekend seemed easiest…

Would you also mind deleting more or less all the code comments from #1666? They all give me the slop-ick feeling, especially comments that list where a helper function is called or say things like “Whole-variable assignments are size-checked”

[nhuurre]

Darn it, the only reason those comments made it through review was that I didn't want to read "slop-ick."

Definitely, I feel like I almost cant read them; my brain refuses to actually take them seriously enough to even digest what they’re trying to say. This article from the front page of HN today described the phenomenon well. https://cymerys.com/w/im-becoming-ai-blind
