And if you want it documented, set your editor's right margin to column 120. Insert the stack picture and place the \ explanation of what it does at column 65.

With comments at column 65, it's like having shadow blocks. Programmers who find comments distracting can always drag the editor window edge until only the code shows. My FHD screen (the new VGA) allows two 124-column edit windows side by side and I use them, since I don't find comments distracting.
