I agree this sounds very weird. However, this phrasing is also fairly
common in comments around the code.

I was first guessing that this came out of one of us non-english native
speakers, but AFAICT it's a mix of authors and definitely including those
natively speaking the language.

I would still suggest that we change it, because it does sound odd to me as
well, but I'll defer a bit and see if others might think we should keep it.
