In theory, yes, but the goal of this patch is not to get everything right, only to make one step in the right direction. Doing it with perl substitutions allows making a relatively large step with minor effort.

Obviously, other patches getting more consistency elsewhere are welcome, but I don't think they have to be part of this series. On a side note, this patch is written by students of mine as part of a school project which ends this Friday, leaving very little time for them to write more patches.
