And I find it totally confusing and unnatural that __ is a placeholder for
path separator.  I have to constantly repeat this to myself, and doing so
definitely does not add to productivity.

It's not just about whether I like it or not this time.  I do not like a
lot of things people are doing about ports, but as long as it does not
sabotage my workflow I'm fine with it.  But this __ is just unbearable and
makes me want to shit my eyes out.

Mind you, the point is not about naming patches the same way, it's about
making patch names descriptive and readable; yet __ does not take anything
from the former, but greatly pessimises the latter.
