How does one do this?

Not that I necessarily think that it is important enough a nit to
break a lot of existing code.

Also, if I "agitate for change", then in the future people might
actually accurately accuse me of agitating for change, when typically
I just come here for a good argument, and I provide a connected series
of statements intended to establish a proposition, but in return I
receive merely the automatic gainsaying of any statement I make.
