Are comments allowed in class definitions?

yes this is the "confusing" default behavior.

There is a "Comment" button in the browser which let's you add a persistent class comment.

well the class comment could be shown in the very same place where you
define the class but usually they are too long, hence they are in a
separate panel.

Furthermore, the class definition itself is not a real method. It actually
recreates the definition from the class itself. You can evaluate,

        Class definition

to get the string back :).

hope that answered your question :)
