Beautiful Code, or rather, Beaut Comments.

My code isn't worth boasting about, but I think I've written some nice comments in my time.

One day, hopefully my best work will be in the code, not just the comments ;-)

(The obvious side thought is -- why can't we embed diagrams and images in the comments of our code? Or at least some kind of textile-style wiki-like markup/markdown? And how much does that thought make you shudder as a potential avenue of IDE abuse?)
