Is there a justification for this behavior? This makes it quite hard to "sight-read" code with reasonably-sized function names and arg lists: do_some_thing_descriptive (some_arg_2, some_longer_arg) [ ... other code ] do_some_very_descriptive_thing(some_arg_2, some_longer_arg) I imagine that each file would try to remain internally-consistent with preferring one syntax over the other. IMO, in scenarios where a module must remain internally-consistent on its one-of-many-ways to do it, for the sake of legibility, there should be only one way to do it. Although, I'm open to hearing any good-faith arguments to the contrary!
