Oh, I know you weren't pushing for removal and this isn't me taking my ball and sulking off home. I just agree that the comments were low value, so in the interest of minimizing churn it seemed more efficient to remove them than hash out formatting.

Are the docstrings ok given that Google style doesn't dictate how types are recorded, or did you want the Sphinx convention? If the latter, can you point me to code that uses it with nontrivial types (nested lists/dicts/etc.) so I have some examples to crib from?
