Usually, I address future-me with comments like that (on the
assumption that there's nobody in the world sadistic enough to want to
maintain my code). But I never name future-me, the comments will be
addressed to "the subsequent maintainer" or somesuch. I do assume,
though, that future-me has forgotten everything about the code, and
since past-me left some comments that current-me has read, I think the
assumption is fairly accurate. (Did I *really* write that code? It has
my name on it.....)
