-    # == NAME
-    #
-    # TenseBlock
-    #
-    # == DESCRIPTION
-    #
-    # As per the LatinVerb documentation, LatinVerbs decorate themselves with
-    # the method which loads up a voice/tense/mood black box.  That black box
-    # is a TenseBlock.  The TenseBlock, in turn, responds to getting the final
-    # two components of the fully-qualified vector back (person and number).
-    # It also has Array-like behaviors (e.g. +[]+) based on the 2 * 3 matrix.
-    #
-    # == INTERNALS
-    #
-    # Internally, a Tenseblock is effectively an Array of the arguments passed
-    # in during TenseBlock.initialize.  These are assumed to be
-    # first/singular, second/singular, third/singular and then
-    # first/plural, second/plural, third/plural.
-    #
-    # Syntactic sugar methods are added to access this array.  Thus, in a
-    # LatinVerb a fully-qualified vectors first 3/5 data resolve to a
-    # TenseBlock.  The last 2/5 of resolution occurs within the TenseBlock
-    # (effectively pulling the contents of the Array).  Therefore, when a
-    # LatinVerb is accessed with the quinpartite fully-qualified vector it can
-    # return the unique value.  The mechanics of this hook through (surprise!)
-    # method_missing.
