This is fine.

Thanks for your feedback.

How do you think about to take another look at additional views
around software development methodologies?

Examples:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_smell
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_metric#Common_software_measurements


Do you occasionally care about a length distribution for identifiers
(like goto labels) of up to 39 characters?

I am looking also for further clarification based on your responses.

I invite also others to contribute to such a software evolution.

I have got some ideas for changes. I am just unsure on how the corresponding
acceptance will evolve.

This can also happen.

I guess that related information will be reconsidered later.

I would interpret the suggestion "CodingStyle: Clarify and complete chapter 7"
in the way that your interest grew for a moment.

I am curious if you are going to contribute to the proposed improvement
a bit more.
