Disagree. "XXX${o}XXX" much better read than "XXX$oXXX". And "=C3=A6stethic=
s" is
better too.

When that happens, I'll rename it to "_opt".

Name of option "DB-backends" look strange.
Anyway I added "DB_BACKENDS_DESC=3D       Database backends" with good
description.

No. I trying make port better. portclippy is just tool with recommendations.

The port needs to be written in such a way that other developers don't waste
time trying to figure out the intricacies that another developer has create=
d.
Large open source and commercial projects are not the place to show off your
programming acrobatics. This should be done in personal, academic projects =
or
programming contests.

So if you have no other arguments, I insist on the proposed changes, aimed =
at
improving the understanding of the port by other developers.
