When referring to functions in comments (or changelogs) please use () to make it 
clear on sight what is being referred to.

Also, please try to construct proper English sentences with verbs and such!

I.e. something like this would work for me:

> +	/*
> +	 * This is a duplicate of native_local_pudp_get_and_clear(),
> +	 * because we cannot use the original due to a cyclic header
> +	 * file dependency:

(Assuming I managed to decode the shorthand form properly.)

Thanks,
