Life is change. The code base has been too cryptic for so long that other people are confused and afraid to modify it. Names that are full words are part of the change that is necessary to bring the code into a state where other people can contribute.
Unless I missed the translations, the changes from: kdbcount to g_input_counter and show_orbit to g_orbit_index are not intuitively obvious to me. But, I don't have the magic decoder ring. Change just to make things different is not necessarily a good thing.
Instead of inline assembly, what we need is a C++ equivalent so that it can be brought to other platforms.
