I once came to a complicated, multi threaded C++ program and saw:

   using namespace std; // using namespace standard

I'm working RIGHT NOW in a codebase where before each function definition there is a comment "// Function"

I wonder if that's intended for a specific workflow, e.g. ctrl-f "Function" enter-enter-enter-enter to cycle through all the functions in the file.

That's the only reason I can think of for writing those comments.

With a half decent IDE you do not need it. It is inexcusable.
