It automatically added `cend' even when the original command didn't have it.
So things like:

foo;                                 /* foo bar
                                      * baz */

Would become:

foo;                                   /* foo bar */
                                      * baz */

I didn't try to handle multi-line comments, but instead I just leave the
comment as is if `cbeg' is found.

Yeah, you're right.  This was unintentional behaviour of my rewrite.
