Well, sometimes it would be nice if the source itself were commented
so I could know wtf is going on. Most of the time I figure this out by
stepping with gdb.

I agree that for Octave, reading the Doxygen output isn't much better
than reading the source code.

That's typically what I do too.

I just wish we had more comments of any kind:

If we were to comment the Octave source code too, I don't see much of
a problem formatting those comments for Doxygen. If GNU libstdc++ does
it, why not us?
