I did notice that you kept some of the comments.  However, I am finding some of
the removed ones to be useful too.  I think if you try to look at this
structure with the eyes of a newbie the comments do help you.  e.g.
di_btimelimit doesn't carry much meaning for me out of context, and the comment
is helping me, at least.  Not everyone is quite so moronic as me, though.  ;)

Thanks.  I really would prefer to keep them.  FWIW, the rest of your patch set
doesn't appear to be adversely affected by doing so.
