Sure. And that works fine as long as everybody knows what they're
doing, especially if #{everybody} is 1.
But as long as we're worrying about the impressions that names leave,
"mixed mode" leaves me with the impression that which mode is used for
any given file is up to the developer, not the project. Or even that
mixed modes can be used for a single file. Sorry, I should have
worded it that way in the first place.

Sure. Necessity guarantees everybody's on the same page.
