We do it the other way around, i.e. `# Invariants` section for the
type, and `// INVARIANT: ...` comments for the places that ensure the
type invariant.

Hmm... so far we use `# Invariants` only for types. Perhaps you could
say something like "Thanks to the type invariant, the return value
will always be ..."
`NULL`?
Thanks!
