Directly after the // there are some non-standard space characters. You can find them in basically every comment, which describes a function. Just FYI.

These are non-whitespace blanks (Unicode U+115F), they should be displayed as blanks by a Unicode-capable text editor.

Background: When hovering over a symbol name in VS, the editor will display a tooltip with the comment above the function. I used these non-whitespace blanks to keep VS from trimming blank lines in the tooltips.

VS 16.6 will introduce XMLDoc/Doxygen/Javadoc support for tooltips, so perhaps I can now stop my abuse of obscure Unicode characters and use Doxygen-style comments instead :)
