Comment (by ironprogrammer):

 Thanks, [comment:3 jorbin]:
 > Alot of the casual language is very intentional and should not be
 removed.

 Understood, and I agree. My saying "much too casual" in the PR description
 was too euphemistic. So to better describe what I meant, here's an example
 where the internal dialog-style may confuse things 😁:

 Original ([https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/commit/a7c3b23f1c8b8fc1e70120951bbbf54b358e1ae1 introduced]):
 {{{
 #!php
         /*
          * We're going to redirect to setup-config.php. While this
 shouldn't result
          * in an infinite loop, that's a silly thing to assume, don't you
 think? If
          * we're traveling in circles, our last-ditch effort is "Need more
 help?"
          */
 }}}

 Revised ([https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/3593/commits/ba67ff25df66dee2b03fe5a92db1b8052d2dd0f7
 ba67ff2]):
 {{{
 #!php
         // Redirect to setup-config.php.
 }}}
