I didn't find any '@@' in our code. 'XXX' and 'FIXME' both appear to be
used widely elsewhere. IMHO, the meaning of 'FIXME' is more obvious.
To speed things along, I've made an "executive decision" and chosen
'FIXME' as our standard code marker for problem areas. I've changed
all occurrences of 'XXX' to 'FIXME'.
I know you're dying to know...
The mash-1 directory contains 1,648 occurrences of FIXME.
I am not joking.
