Merge #10682: Trivial: Move the AreInputsStandard documentation next to its implementation
ca67ddf0b Move the AreInputsStandard documentation next to its implementation (esneider) Pull request description: The documentation (and rationale) for `AreInputsStandard` somehow got separated from its implementation, and creates a bit of confusion: it's in the middle of the file, next to the implementation of `IsStandard`, which actually checks the "standardness" of outputs, not inputs.
