For me, it would have to pass the first idiot test: "Is it broken," and a
source members search would likely not be involved.

I bought some powdered water, but I don't know what to add to it.


readability of the code is a big one for me.

Well here's a question for you.

What would you do ? :

Working on a RPGIII that has just been converted to IV.
Need to test a field to see if its value is 'X0'.
Search the source for 'X0' to see if I need to create a constant.
In the D specs I find :D cX0 C CONST('X0')
'c' being the RPGIII standard prefix for constants.
I realize that the length available for constant names did not make for
readability, but...
Reading further, I find that most of the constants are coded in the
same way.


Pride ( or plain stubborn ) will not let me use the constant cX0, so
I'm adding my own long constant name with the same value.
