+  # This is the step that ensures that comments don't get wrecked as part of us moving AST nodes willy-nilly.
+  #
+  # For example, given document
+  #
+  # 1: defmodule ...
+  # 2: alias B
+  # 3: # hi
+  # 4: # this is foo
+  # 5: def foo ...
+  # 6: alias A

+  # Moving the ast node for alias A would put line 6 before line 2 in the AST.
+  # Elixir's document algebra would then encounter "line 6" and immediately dump all comments with line < 6,
+  # meaning after running through the formatter we'd end up with
+  #
+  # 1: defmodule
+  # 2: # hi
+  # 3: # this is foo

+  # This fixes that error by ensuring the following property:
+  # A given node of AST cannot have a line number greater than the next AST node.
