I feel this is the most important point in this discussion.  When you 
can offer only one way of doing things, it eliminates needless 
discussions and makes code more recognizable.

Take `var` -- it has led to many discussions, many variations of when it 
should or should not be used, how variables should be named when it is 
used (should they convey more information since the type is now less 
obvious?)... while the previous status quo (pre-`var`) meant there was 
only way of doing things, resulting in more recognizable code, more 
consistent variable naming patterns and far far less discussions.
