+# It turns out that there are a lot of cases where we'd really like to
+# use what Doxygen calls "brief" documentation in a comment. Doxygen
+# has a shorthand way of doing this -- if one is writing C++. ISC
+# coding conventions require C, not C++, so we have to do it the
+# verbose way, which makes a lot of comments too long to fit on a
+# single line without violating another ISC coding standard (80
+# character line limit).
+#
+# So we use Doxygen's input filter mechanism to define our own
+# brief comment convention:
+#
+# /*% foo */
+#
+# expands to
+#
+# /*! \brief foo */
+#
+# and
+#
+# /*%< foo */
+#
+# expands to
+#
+# /*!< \brief foo */
+#

+# Doxygen appears to strip trailing newlines when reading files
+# directly but not when reading from an input filter. Go figure.
+# Future versions of Doxygen might change this, be warned.
