I Remembered a statement from fefe (diet-libc => www.fefe.de) about
"Writing Small and Fast Software":

It is still clear, what each Argument does, when you remove the
Variable-Names from the Declaration?
- Yes: Efficient Design.
- No:  Your Interface is to generic ==  bloated

static SECURITY_STATUS SEC_ENTRY schan_InitializeSecurityContextW(
 PCredHandle, PCtxtHandle, SEC_WCHAR *, ULONG, ULONG, ULONG,
 PSecBufferDesc, ULONG, PCtxtHandle, PSecBufferDesc, ULONG, PTimeStamp)
{

We all should thank the People who did such a Design :-)
