Unfortunately, this is a *classic* C failure mode.  Since nobody
has an editor that does autocomplete in C, everybody writes cryptic
variable names.

BS.  I deal with a lot of C code-  most of it uses good variable
names, many of which were written without autocomplete.  I refuse to
use any editor with autocomplete, its the most annoying, pain in the
ass feature ever dreamed up.  I'd like to meet the guy who thought of
it, so I could beat him for it.

Um, why?

If you don't want autocomplete, it just sits there unused. If you do want it, it's there when you hit the activation sequence (<tab>, <alt>-K, etc.). What's the issue?
