The "/*-" comment marker indicates to utilities that comments should not be
re-wrapped.  Some of the comments you've changed would distinctly suffer if
they were re-wrapped, e.g.,

If you don't want to have "/*-" for these, please change them instead to
"/**", since that is an alternative "box comment" marker.
