The comments are not strictly required, but probably fit into turning this thing
into "hand coding". I think it's a nice addition. I wonder if we should make the
"i * 2 + j" a bit clearer though?

I'm not against leaving it as is for now. It helps that it doesn't morph too
much from the code getting moved. But I think the above falls a bit short of
hand coded quality.
