This sounds logical, yet I have never seen that in my own code, the code of colleagues at work or other code. If the documentation is not somehow automatically tested against changes in the code, the documentation in the same file is almost always worse (as in "more wrong") than adding the changes in another document. I don't know why it's easier to remember or for others to check for updates in "special" files.
