That's certainly the rule we try to follow. I looked at this particular
piece of code (bundling), and I must say I agree with Richard that it 
would be very helpful to have some more high level comments that 
describe what the code is doing at a higher level of abstraction than
the code itself. I quite understand that Vladimir doesn't need more
comments for himself, but to me if someone reads my code and notes that
it would be helpful to have more comments, that's a good enough reason
to provide those comments!
