I do the same (in any language), even if I usually prefer to comment 
about what the function/block/loop actually did, rather than refer to 
its opening instruction, e.g.:

  -- scan goblin list for culprit
  for g in ipairs(goblins) do
    ...
    ...
    ...
  end -- (goblin list scan)

And I too find reverse keywords confusing, I have to disentangle my 
neurons afterwards.
