As a high-level comment, I was skimming this patch and saw a bit of
inconsistency in commenting I would like to see cleaned up for any patches
going in:

New doxygen comments should generally use the more modern style:

/// \brief One sentence summary.
///
/// A more detailed description here.
void FooBarBaz(...) { ... }

Rather than the more redundant pattern:

/// FooBarBaz - One sentence summary.
///
/// A more detailed description here.
void FooBarBaz(...) { ... }

I also saw some doxygen comments w/ just a preceding double slash rather
than the necessary triple slash.

Finally, it's useful to check for proper prose in the comments which are
more than a name or some such. They should start with capital letters, use
punctuation, and form complete sentences, etc.

Sorry for the pedantic reminders of the dark corners of the coding
standards, just didn't want them to go unnoticed... I'll get out of your
guys' hair now...
