yes if they only contain the name of the method, or empty lines that
start with "Description: " :)  then they're just useless clutter.

it is more useful if it separates a chunk of related stuff from another
chunk of related stuff, e.g. if there are multiple classes implemented
in one file it can be nice to have a separator between the methods of
different classes, but this should usually result in a number of
separators in a file that can be counted on one hand.
