Given that the above snippet is around halfway through the file – and its wording still provides a fair bit of leeway – it’s not exactly enforcing the stronger opinions displayed on this list about how the IDs should be used.
We can move sections around in the file to put that snippet in the early going, and to emphasize the naming issues earlier. This entails some rewording to avoid use-before-define problems. Proposed patch attached (installed on the experimental github version). I'm not sure what is meant by "a fair bit of leeway". What would be less leeway, and why would less leeway be desirable? Can you propose some wording along those lines?
