"Doesn't tell too much" is not necessarily bad, but "tells too
little" is, and I think this tells me enough to say it is not a good
change ;-)

Thanks for bringing it up.  "By reducing the language we accept it
makes my coding simpler" is not a good excuse to break existing
users, and "While it is not strictly necessary, " is a good hint
that the author _knows_ that the change can either (1) be done
without, or (2) be done in a way that does not break existing users
and yet make the end result easier to read.
