It's been a slow week, but one idea I've been playing with is "comment tokens"[1]: effect-less words that you can sprinkle into your programs to make them more readable.

Concretely, SubX lines can get long, and the comment at the end is often far away and hard to line up visually with the instruction it's referring to. The solution: dot leaders[2].
