Yes and there are two types of the comments, one-liners and
multi-line. In multi-line you usually use proper English grammar,
where capitalization means what it means. For the one-liners just
choose either small letters or capital letters to start them with.

Something is missing here.

Why? You may use 8 byte IO (writeq() / readq() or their relaxed versions), no?

What bothers me is hidden endianess issues (yeah, here it might be
theoretical, but consider that somebody will look at your code and use
it as the best example ever).
