I mean, frankly, it's really stupid and the format of these files isn't always straightforward or even documented. Some of them are just space delimited numbers with no obvious meaning - I wouldn't even call that human-readable - at least a struct can have named members and comments.

Perhaps, since he's doing such a great job, we shouldn't argue that he should change? Such change may lead to unintended consequences.
