Though instead of adding my own long name, I would have spent
the extra time and replaced the short name with a longer one.


I thought about that, and that's what my first instinct was but as I think Dennis was implying, if it ain't broke...
Had I done as you say, I would have risked my own behind for wasting time as some would see it.

So, I didn't touch the code that "weren't broke". Future programmers will be now be able to choose between a constant with my new meaningful name and cXO.
