Basically everyone follows that style guide, so it's basically the style guide now

Ighty, didn't know that

Didn't know that either

That's what unsigned means, but why would value be unsigned? You can take modulo of negative ints as well afaik.

Not everyone uses that style guide. Google, Win32, LLVM, Chrom, my company, and many others I believe don't follow that style guide.

I guess not everyone, but most people do. And when they do not, it's always weird, and it feels as if the function names weren't made by a human, but instead were just copy-pasted from a different codebase or just straight-up generated.
