-// i am precious
func f() {}
\ No newline at end of file
I'm ok with getting an error about invalid Go, or having a still-invalid file that
preserves the comments. I am not ok with losing my input.
This is extra annoying when goimports is hooked into editor save, and I move a
documented function into a new file.
