I know the why, I utterly disagree with "the more readable it gets".
There are compiler warnings that detect the wrong version anyway so
the gain is _zero_. I will not use this idiom is any code I touch.
Readability is something subjective, the advantage to CONSTANT == VARIABLE
is not. Please don’t _change_ this idiom in the future. I’m not asking you
to use it yourself.
The GNU coding style is atrocious, there is no need to make it
worse.
What next, Systems Hungarian Notation?
