That said: if it is unclear to people well versed in the language standard
whether the code is correct or not (and does what it is supposed to do or not)
then one could argue that the code is also hard to read.

In other words: there may not be a need to change the code for *correctness
reasons*, but the *is* a need to change the code to make it more maintainable.
I believe that's a valid argument in software design to change things.
