I also request to let me add options for actual good naming (see my
previous reply). I would also strongly suggest to group these renaming
actions in one RFC and get rid of it in the next couple of weeks
(following the usual periods for a RFC). STR macros being on top of my
list.

And I'd to remember that we suffer from double standards while you
guys do whatever you want with ng, and certainly with ast as well. I
wonder what you would say if we begin to be as picky and keep asking
to change things for months :/
