It is helpful to quote the specification verbatim so that the intent is understood from the quoted context in the event that the specification changes.
```suggestion
// SYCL 2020 section 5.10.1, "SYCL functions and member functions linkage":
// When a function is declared with SYCL_EXTERNAL, that macro must be
// used on the first declaration of that function in the translation unit.
// Redeclarations of the function in the same translation unit may
// optionally use SYCL_EXTERNAL, but this is not required.
