On the other hand, when you do run across this construct in the wild, it is trivial to look up what it does and learn. I imagine that's how most people learned about it, since it doesn't exist in other languages. In a way I find your comment contradictory: on the one hand, you appreciate and embrace that the body of common knowledge can change. On the other hand, you use the current state of common knowledge as an argument against doing things that can improve the common knowledge.
