This is the entire function definition, with the comment in place:

function roundUp x,i -- rounds x up to the next i
  return x div i * i + item itemoffset((x mod i > 0),"true,false") of (i,0)
end roundUp

I only included the first line in my original question because it's the
only line with a comment.
