Sadly, I fear that comments won't help in that situation. They could, except that the solution depends critically on the developer realizing they're writing garbled code during the time they're writing it. I don't know about anyone else, but my code's never garbled when I write it. It only becomes garbled by magic, and only when I don't look at it for a few weeks. Or, strangely enough, the moment someone else looks at it.

Still haven't figured out a reliable enough garble detection mechanism that my employer's willing to pay for.
