I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would want to. Some people insist
it's a better way to work, but I've never seen any advantages, only
restrictions. The occasional typo isn't worth the trouble to me.
You obviously make fewer typos than me!
I am one of these (apparently rare?) people who do try to run with it on - and
indeed this only causes me problems, in general, with my own old code. I've
found that it's worth it - those typos may be occasional, but the bugs they
cause can be subtle and hard to track down.
YMMV, of course.
