Yes, it's possible to refer to something with natural language (in fact, I personally find that better than using a function name when both options exist). The underscores are C artifacts to replace spaces that do not belong to natural language so if one uses underscores, I'll always take it as a direct reference to C code. The quote still has "the warnings" though (but I see Reinette already noted that). > > (In general, use () when refering to a function, same thing in the > > shortlog). > > > > "the warnings" sounds like I should know about what warning it fails with > > but there's no previous context which tells that information.
