I guess no matter how hard you try someone will get confused.  Then if not
user% then % and root#.  That seems rather explicit.  I just think if you
are going to use letters that they should mean something to the person
reading it, and not be just place holders.

I suspect you, Stas, have probably the most experience regarding this with
questions you have received due to the guide.
