So one needs to grep 3 times instead of once in a code-base. Why did the authors chose this abominable convention ? It makes maintenance a nightmare.

I never had this issue: do not mix different stiles across the same project.

Instead, you can import and use libraries that use a different stile without breaking your convention.
