Ok, I've seen this pop up several times in this discussion and can't bite my 
tongue anymore.  Terse != readable.  I find that programs that try to be as 
terse as possible, even when they still use good variable names, frequently are 
unmaintainable.  I find myself adding code to make it readable far more 
frequently than taking it away.
