Hmmm.  So now let's say you have a few dozen of these types of functions, and you want to talk about the twenty-sixth
one with a peer... are you going to say, "Hey, look at the twenty-sixth one -- I think it has a bug." or something more
like, "Hey, I think there's a bug in the hyp sin function." ?

People use names, names are good.

Python uses names, because names are good.
