and let's consider the following code :

/**<p>Returns whether the button cell is transparent.</p>
    <p>See Also: -setTransparent:</p>
  */
- (BOOL) isTransparent
{
   return _buttoncell_is_transparent;
}

/**<p>Sets whether the button cell is transparent.</p>
    <p>See Also: -isTransparent </p>
  */
- (void) setTransparent: (BOOL)flag
{
   _buttoncell_is_transparent = flag;
}


once transformed will it be possible to keep comments ?
Actually since clang is transforming the source code into an AST I am 
wondering if clang is not
too heavy for my task and will generate some ugly code.
