This is probably due to the fact that in _some_ cases expressions are
(unfortunately) not kept in verbatim format as they were input -
instead they are parsed and later converted back to text, loosing all
formatting.

It is possible and it would not be hard. But until we fix the problem
mentioned above, your comments would get lost in some places :-/
