+    This class builds the lnotab, which is documented in compile.c.
+    Here's a brief recap:
 
     For each SET_LINENO instruction after the first one, two bytes are
     added to lnotab.  (In some cases, multiple two-byte entries are
     added.)  The first byte is the distance in bytes between the
     instruction for the last SET_LINENO and the current SET_LINENO.
     The second byte is offset in line numbers.  If either offset is
-    greater than 255, multiple two-byte entries are added -- one entry
-    for each factor of 255.
+    greater than 255, multiple two-byte entries are added -- see
+    compile.c for the delicate details.
