I disagree that keyword expansion has outlived its usefulness. In a
development environment the use may be not as great as it once was. However,
in a production environment where I am diagnosing a problem that may be
related to an inconsistent build that slipped past QA, ident marks in the
code really help me know the code is built consistently.
