FWIW, I also never noticed this, and I share the concerns about
making this a requirement for all languages. It really depends
on the language itself whether it's easy to implement such feature,
and I would hate for language parsers to be harder to maintain
just so we can provide a bit of a C-centric view to every language
we support.

I vote for downgrading the requirement and amending the documentation
instead.
