What a strange word, Grok. It is funny though, I am checking in code and writing some whys and whatfors to go with the checkins and I wrote: "Renamed xxx() to yyy() to make the calling code easier to grok" And realize quickly that the comment itself was by definition harder to grok. I think I should start writing checkin comments ʇxǝʇ uʍop ǝpısdn ǝɥʇ buısn[^]ʇxǝʇ uʍop ǝpısdn ǝɥʇ buısn and see if anyone notices.
