Why? In 2025 we have tooling available for most every editor that will annotate that information into the display without needing them present in the file. When I autocomplete a function name, all the parameters are there for me to fill in, and annotated into the display afterwards. It seems like an unnecessary step to reify it and force the bytes to be present in the the saved file.



So those editors could just insert the names for you. The bytes in the source file are not a serious concern, are they?
