We have something similar in my my organization's Fortran code. We have constants KI1, KI2, KI3, ... etc corresponding to (k)onstant integers 1, 2, 3, ... etc.

We have something similar in my my organization's Fortran code. We have constants KI1, KI2, KI3, ... etc corresponding to (k)onstant integers 1, 2, 3, ... etc. Someone got the idea that hard-coded numbers were bad. All it does is make code harder to read to anyone unfamiliar with these conventions.
