Agreed. I don't have any issue with "Language", really, but I agree
that "Source code" makes the output pretty ridiculous. I also liked the
idea of changing the name to "internal name" or something along those
lines, rather than having it be "source code", if we keep the column for
C/internal functions. Keeping is as "source code" wouldn't be accurate.
