No, I really am not arguing that we should ask them.  Because we (or
at least I) already know at least what their convention was a few
years ago.  However, I do encourage anyone curious to ask them instead
of making up arguments about why the answer is obvious.

I do not think it is fair to call your position blind.  I really would
be happier if you were able to listen, and, instead of throwing out
protests and debating points, to talk about your real concerns.

I am guessing (but you never said!) that you find the name
__git_complete ugly.  That's fine.  I even agree.  I have mentioned
that there is a namespace that your proposed alternative violates.
Your response is... to refuse to believe that what I said is true or
relevant?

How am I supposed to have a reasonable discussion after that?

This is not a debating floor.  When I give what I think is relevant
information, I am not requesting "please misinterpret me and shoot me
down".

Ciao,
Jonathan
