This style isn't really uncommon for people used to IDEs doing
identifier auto-completion. But that's not only a bitch to work with
without it but also difficult to read because of the sheer verbosity of
the text. Eg, using an identifier

combined-list-of-files-in-all-source-folders

doesn't really communicate more than 'all-files' or even just 'all' (if
the files is evident from the context) would.
