Maybe you won't know what 'a' is, but I will, because I'll be 
using an IDE that tells me what 'a' is through some visual cue 
like color. And, if your best argument is "I don't like to use an 
IDE", then the discussion of this issue has truly descended into 
a battle between different tastes. And as they say in my country: 
"You can't argue about matters of taste". I think we can vote 
about issues which are purely a matter of taste, but in the end, 
it should be a judgement call of the person who invented the 
language.
