-/** ##skip
-  instruction comment
-  : english description
+/* Some comments about this file's contents:
+
+   - The new format aims to be editable by C editor of your choice;
+     your mileage might vary of course.
+
+   - Each instructions are in following format:
+
+     DEFINE_INSN
+     instruction_name
+     (type operand, type operand, ..)
+     (pop_values, ..)
+     (return values ..)
+     #pragma attr type name contents..
+     {
+       .. // insn body
+     }
+
+   - Unlike the old format which was line-oriented, you can now place
+     newlines and comments at liberal positions.
+
+   - `DEFINE_INSN` is a keyword.
+
+   - An instruction name must be a valid C identifier.
+
+   - Operands, pop values, return values are series of either variable
+     declarations, keyword `void`, or keyword `...`.  They are much
+     like C function declarations.
+
+   - Attribute pragmas are optional, and can include arbitrary C
+     expressions.  You can write anything there but as of writing,
+     attribute named sp_inc is supported.
+
+   - Attributes can access operands, but not stack (push/pop) variables.
+
+   - An instruction's body is a pure C block, copied verbatimly into
+     the generated C source code.
