Would be a step in including "Strong Phrases, Active voices" into
documentation/Comments/std output..

This is a standard recommendation for improving English writing style.

Like all elements of any language, passive voice is a well-established part of the English language and there are plenty of situations that warrant - or even demand - its use.

Therefore, such a recommendation should not be taken as a blanket law to be applied "roboticly" to all text ever written :-)

The intent of the recommendation is to call attention to a common stylistic failing - i.e. the *overuse* of passive voice.
