     I dislike block ends at the end of a line.

     I use blank lines myself and comment headers with bigger, oh,
call them "wings".

* This is a high-level comment.

code

* This a block comment.
code
code     && and this is a line comment.
         && Sometimes continued.

     I usually do not use wings and rarely use two line wings.  If I
add a lesser comment to a winged comment, I put it after the
after-wing, as in:

*
* This is a less high-level comment.

* If you modify this code, check over OtherCode() as well.

     It was surprising to me that there was apparently no such word of
capable of being omitted.  It turns out that it is irregular.  The
word you want is "omissible":
