-// Function:	CommonFG::setComment
-///\brief	Sets or resets the comment for an object specified by its name.
-///\param	name  - IN: Name of the object
-///\param	comment - IN: New comment
-///\exception	H5::FileIException or H5::GroupIException
-///\par	Description
-///		If \a comment is an empty string or a null pointer, the comment
-///		message is removed from the object.
-///		Comments should be relatively short, null-terminated, ASCII
-///		strings.  They can be attached to any object that has an
-///		object header, e.g., data sets, groups, named data types,
-///		and data spaces, but not symbolic links.
