Added
0.174.0Comments import as comment boxes. The comments above a statement become a box around its nodes, titled with their text, and a comment at the end of the line joins them. A row with a box on it moves down to make room for the title.
0.174.0Comments compile back as the file wrote them. A run of -- lines, a --- doc comment and a --[=[ ]=] doc block are each written in the same form above the same statement.
0.174.0The import says what happened to them. It counts the comments boxed, and those left out: one at the end of a block, with nothing after it to describe.
