Maybe. Maybe not. When used to mean “todo” according to your
interpretation, then yes. When used for one of various other
use cases, then, just as likely, no. It depends on the author’s
intent in using PRETEND_OK – which is what I was saying. :-)

That is the beauty of naming after what it is vs. what it’s meant
to be for.
