I'm in the process of reading through the patch.

I have a question regarding punctuation in comments, for example in 
compactibleFreeListSpace.hpp.
You've removed the full stop at the end of several one-line comments but kept 
it for the multi-line comments, is there any particular reason behind these 
changes? I remember being told to add punctuation to comments I've written in 
the past.
