Not particularly.  I don't see the benefit to redundant typing in any
fashion.  I guess because I've had far more recompiles due to not
changing the name in the procedure end than confusion in figuring out
the name of the procedure.

Part of that may be do to my personal standard to keep procedures under
30 or 40 lines, and the fact that I can easily see 60 lines on the IDE,
and that's without maximizing the pane.  Lots of my procedures are 10 to
20 lines (sometimes even less!), so I'm rarely at a loss as to what
procedure I'm in.

So does WDSCi51!  However, while I don't know about everybody else,
there are often times when it's a lot faster for me to clone an existing
procedure than go through the wizard.
