One man's noise is another man's information. ;) Your arguments here and below are of the "I don't need it so it's useless" type. The core question is: How does removing this prefix help us in producing better code? To me, 'producing' includes 'writing' and 'reviewing/reading'. Using 'a' seems helpful to at least some reviewers. If we remove the prefix, does this improve the writing part significantly enough to make it worthwhile? My answer is "No".
