The question is the code itself, the names can always be renamed. Does 
the code suddenly become better if I had used the regular conventions?

Does the naming convention affect performance? NO!

So having brought up such a lame point we are now trying to deflect 
attention from the code by rubbishing the author. Focus on the code, not 
me or whatever fantasy you have about me.
