I did file a bug a year or two ago about the almost uselessness of USE flag |
| 9 |
descriptions. It caused a flurry of activity in quite a few packages, but |

conspicuous silence in the rest. Needless to say, the activity soon died |
| 11 |
away and the status quo resumed. Programmers are not writers of English, by |
| 12 |
and large. |
