Another workaround, another barrier to entry.

You should not have to like them. The technical reasons for their
existence should be self evident, or clearly described somewhere,
or else the conventions should be changed to be more, what's the

(I hope no one takes offense at my sarcasm - apologies in advance if so
- as said, I have personally come to like the conventions, and I do
believe it would behoove us to change (at least some of) them.)
