It's already bad enough that you have to use
`git grep -w FOO $(git ls-files "*Kconf*")` [*] to find the non-prefixed
symbols in the Kconfig logic, followed by `git grep -w CONFIG_FOO`
for the rest.

[*] Doh, recently I discovered that `git grep -w FOO -- "*Kconf*"' also
works, but my fingers are not yet used to it...

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
