Your imagination and mine differ.
Where do you _think_ it matters?

For instance, nothing about

	sizeof(type)
vs
	sizeof(*ptr)

makes it easier for a human to read the code.

This class of change now require a syntactic parser
to find instances of the use of type where previously
a grep or equivalent tool worked well.

I've done that for you far too many times already.

Your changelogs need to detail _why_ something is being
done, not describe any tool used to perform or find a
particular instance of any change.
