If someone got a contract with O'Reilly or No Starch Press to write a
book on BPF and how revolutionarily awesome it is, it's conceivable they
would be faced with exposing some BPF-related function declarations in
the text.  In cases like the following, what would you have them do?

int bpf_map_update_elem(struct bpf_map *map, const void *key, const void *value, u64 flags)

Be aware that the author may not have infinite flexibility; publishers
generally impose a "house style" which restricts selection of typeface
(so they can't necessarily print at a smaller type size or with the
kerning reduced beyond a certain point to squeeze the text onto the
line).
