On occasions, when it worths the trouble; yes that is a reasonable
stance.  I haven't seen a convincing argument to that effect yet.

Do you expect people to change their mind by telling them how

wild guess: so that you can come and complain :-)

If you really want to make the codes readable, here is a better and
more useful (in my mind) project for you:  Implement the #nospam CPP
directives so that we don't have to uglify most of the names.
