Event TimelineComment Actions We can quickly enter bikeshed territory debating something like this, but I must ask, is this workflow real or imagined? It is somewhat of a stretch to declare numeric literals as Dv, that is "defined variable or preprocessor constant"; pedantically they are neither. Of course I favor practicality over pedantics. Why does the change not add Dv markup for the names of the constants? Is the user any more or less likely to search apropos Dv=EX_USAGE? I can mostly grasp the rationale of the change, but I think you could do a little more to convince the reader of its value. |
