I didn't want to be the first to say it, but yeah, the listing page
needs the "Ns_" ... it might increase the amount of text you can fit on
a page by trimming 3 characters here and there, but to a programmer, it
definitely reduces readability.

When my eyes scan code, I look for the equivalent of "stopwords" and the
"Ns_" prefix serves as such a visual cue.  Not having them makes the
docs almost awkward to skim.
