 this one file. Plus, there aren’t that many names that would overflow, and
 it isn’t a big deal when they do.

 Why do you need or want readability in that file? In contrast to python
 modules my idea was to write the list of modules once and then forget
 about it for one year until we'll be able to remove the replacements (or
 add new ones to remove 5.16, 5.18, ...).

 The size penalty for adding the spaces is cca. 30 kB.
