It used to be true back when doc-strings were dumped into the
executable and memory was scarce.  

But I believe doc-strings for internal variables and functions are
considered acceptable these days.

There are a couple of naming conventions sporadically used by
functions, like adding "-1" to the name of helper functions, or adding
"internal" to the name of the function.
