I understand your point, however, the lesser characters to parse, the better readability is (usually). At least the proposed pattern is mainly used in the kernel (you may grep for different patterns). It also has an educational effect in case somebody takes this code as an example (for whatever reason). With this we will show that *in practice* kernel prefers this style over others. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
