Oh no, the slippery slope argument :) Obviously, the comments should
somewhat reflect the level of abstraction at which the function
operates. In this case it's just a wrapper, which is not abstracting
anything away, so I believe that the benefit of keeping the original
comment (the functionality hasn't changed!) outweighs the potential
maintenance problems.

And I very much appreciate it, and all the other comments and
suggestions as well.

Thank you!
