Sure. They are more clear as to the assignment of the comment to a
particular class or function or method, for one thing. It can help when
debugging and/or testing your modules, for another thing. And, you never
know that you'll always release as a standalone, as you might change your
mind or release some of your modules for third-party usage, for a third
thing.
