I would like to strongly support that.

Mathematics is such a huge field and with current technology we have to 
means to at least include a URL to help people that want to review the 
code but don't know everything about the background (yes sometimes 
following different books lead to different code design). It is vital to 
at least give enough hints to the literature.
