Thanks for your proposal.
I have discussed with our designer, and the fields of CQCAP's ITCFVAL
and ITCFMUL will not change.
If we add more code for it, these codes will also affect the execution
efficiency, even if it has a very small effect.
I think if it's just for reading convenience, we can add more comments
to make it easier to read the code.
Do you think it's okay to add more comments?
