Just as a brief interjection: I am sorry that my inexperience with Git's mailing-list based process caused me to leave out details which were discussed earlier, be it on GitHub or Discord. However, me not mentioning that I am aiming for single-line suffix comments only was due to simple forgetfulness, without an excuse behind it. My bad.

I think it best I flesh out the commit message before anything else, and then resubmit. That should bundle the necessary information.
