This sounds very complicated to me. It seems like a form of meta programming. It doesn’t excite me. If you can work it out from the code, why do you even need the comment?

And that sets a lot of expectations, and if it disagrees with reality it impacts how they view your project as a whole. With enough interactions, and in the right areas, extra effort can pay for itself pretty quickly.
