<PRE>
Probably, there's too much source code to comment every little thing.
And, when you comment code, it might lead to "fixes",
possibly introducing new bugs.  Comments get stale, outdated.

If your outside coders want to merely ⋅extend⋅ to your code,
you could comment that section, nothing more.
They'd be writing extensions, like VBA "macros", Perl or JavaScript.

If these coders want to change everything ( to port it ? )
−− and if they're going to be around for years to come −−
they should take a few months to rewrite it, all of it.
