But as I mentioned in a previous post, I think, for many of the Foundation functions, moving the prepositional phrase into the argument label actual aids clarity slightly. I was surprised that I ended up liking it, but I do.

Looking at the fourth function in the diff and saying "I think this is probably the worst API in the frameworks" is a bit like looking at Jupiter and saying "I think this is probably the biggest planet in the universe". With such a small sample out of such a large set, it's far more likely that APIs with the defects seen here are *common*.
