My 2 cents: Comment typos are visible to readers, so more annoying
when seen in isolation, and less likely to have surroundings that
could change in back branches. Consistency would preferred all else
being equal, but then again nothing is wrong with the existing links.
In any case, no one has come out in favor of the patch, so it seems
like it should be rejected unless that changes.
