I noticed some people add these extra asterisk at the beginning of comment, but I do not recall that we declared it is a convention we adopt, so I'd rather be surprised if we've "maintained" it. Please have it in CodingGuidelines or somewhere once this thread settles and we decide to keep that convention (I have no problem with the convention; it is just I personally didn't think it was worth doing myself at least until now that we might have found somebody who wants to make use of the markings).
