[...] I would bet that you've never done anything in LaTeX3, have you? I agree that for high-level, general-purpose languages, HN is rarely a good idea. (Though some variants, like consistent naming schemes - like Emacs' convention for variables ending in =E2=80=98-function=E2=80=99= or =E2=80=98-hook=E2=80=99 - are fine, aren=E2=80=99t they?) For a fairly low-level thing like TeX, in which the same thing can be represented in a few ways (like =E2=80=9C\foo=E2=80=9D versus =E2=80=9Cfo= o=E2=80=9D, which is a bit like the symbol/string difference in Lisp), you would perish without it.
