Build Identifier: 

People looks for documentation into header or generate documentation form headers. Single line comment doesn’t appear in generated header.

Examples:
  /// Called when the selection is changed in the tree
  void onSelectionChanged();

  readonly attribute boolean noSelect;  // this is an imap no select folder


Reproducible: Always

Because hardly anything except automated documentation tools read the generated headers, I don't think this is worthwhile (and I don't think libIDL provides the necessary information). WONTFIX.
