I tend to believe that "Perfect is the Enemy of Good".
Then perhaps my hesitance (where I suggested that my own argument was

Then at least it's immediately readable for some subset of people.
I still feel queasy about it, but... if we're trying to compare "Perfect"
and "Good", then...??
The argument that Java didn't use language-neutral method names is a
