Oh no.

@V4N4D1S Don't get me started on how it is 20 fucking 24 and we still can NOT, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, put a PICTURE in a code comment.

Because clearly no code has ever needed a DIAGRAM to explain it. That would be utterly useless. Besides, it's not like computers could handle it.

I .... absolutely hate this from an technical perspective, but also fully get it from a human one.

Would a means of specifying a diagram in a comment as a textual link that the IDE understands to render inline be an acceptable compromise?

@aaron I mean, it would be better than nothing, but the fact that we have to resort to that kind of thing is a pretty sad indictment of the state of programming tooling today.
