While synopsis parses the whole C++ code, not just declarations, comments
are only processed for declarations, i.e. all other comments are dropped
somewhere in the processing pipeline. Thus, I believe that the feature
you are asking for would be implementable with small to medium efford.

Yes, I would very much appreciate if you could file this as an enhancement
request. I do understand what you are asking for, but having an open bug
report is always an efficient reminder :-)

Any help you may be willing to provide is certainly very much appreciated.
If you are registered on the bug / task tracker we can discuss details
there.

Thanks,
