IDENTIFICATION used to show magic CVS keywords, which was standard
practice back then and probably useful.  Now it's just a useless path,
because Magnus removed the keywords 10 years ago in commit
9f2e2113869.

The function name comments are similar, though less consistent so I'm
too lazy to write a script to find one that is actually wrong (with
which to trigger Andres's let's-delete-them-all response :-D).  At
least in the planner code, I think those might originally have been
documentation of the names of the Lisp functions that each C function
was ported from (for example in 4.2 source, sort_inner_and_outer's
comment says "sort-inner-and-outer", a Lispy spelling).  Bruce
delispified some of them 20 years ago in commit 6724a507874.
