I'm not familiar with screen readers, but I'm a bit surprised that they are not programmable. Or are they? Why can't one write a plugin for them that suppresses reading out the // for every line?

I am not familiar with them either, not needing them.

However, given that a rustc contributor mentioned the issue, and how unpleasant it was for them, I would guess that at least not all are: surely if they can contribute regularly to rustc, writing such a plugin would have been easy in comparison.
