Hi,

Is there a chance of him getting his frontend a bit more in sync with 
ours? ;-)
And an extra patch with cosmetics to be applied _afterwards_ would 
probably be more acceptable for most.

I guess even those maybe-wrong comments are better than none. If they're 
wrong they will be corrected somewhen, if there are none that will 
probably stay like that.

I don't like it, but if you want do it. Although I thought about that 
renaming and I am not sure that it really improves readability.
It changes the variable names to be the same as the type names, which 
doesn't fit the criteria that variable names should describe what they 
do / what they are used for. Not that the old names seem to be better...
