I don't think "typability" should be a prime factor in deciding,
especially such trivial issues such as shifted-characters (like 75% of
punctuation in Makefiles is shifted on most keyboards); readability is
_much_ more important (and readability in many cases means not too

This is a little vague. What do you mean by "better documentation"?

Basically yes; and a patch would obviously be welcome, if you want
to speed up the fixing of this bug ;-)
