No. The comment is describing the overall strategy for the next ~30
lines. That first if-test is dealing with a sub-case, ie reversing
direction after reaching EOF. The code's fine, and the comments are
okay as far as they go, but maybe some rearrangement would be in order.
Or we could add something like "But first, we must deal with the special
case of reversing direction after reaching EOF."
