Hi Larry,
The reason why it's useful is that it's much more likely to find
relevant lines of code by using "grep st_size *.[ch]". If you grep
for "size", there will be way too many false matches.

I *much* prefer sbuf.st_size than whatever.size,
the former is
instantly a stat structure, the later is a "whatever".
It's awful. :-)
st.st_size `stutters' and that jars when reading in my head.
If st.size isn't clear from context, then stbuf.size probably is.
Ditto ar_hdr->uid versus hdr->ar_uid.
