title: Do have a file header comment at the start of every human-created code file?
body: <p>I'm going through <a href="http://1code.codeplex.com/" rel="noreferrer">All-In-One Code Framework</a> Coding Standards document and one of the recommendations is to add a file header comment at the start of every human-created code file. This is the first time I've seen such a recommendation and to me it's just an unnecessary and ugly clutter but I'm wondering if someone could explain why M$ recommends this?</p>
  
  <p>Their example looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/****************************** Module Header ******************************\
