imho change the names to something more specialised and
descriptive. Perhaps along the lines of random-pattern,
markov-pattern, funcall-pattern or some such.
Compared to examining backtraces and compilation warnings (and
finding workarounds) theres little work to change existing code
by some defined spec.
