Hi Tomasz,
 
Sorry, please disregard my last question -- I'm playing catch-up and didn't read ahead far enough to see this response from you. 
 
You are absolutely correct about creating understandable, readable code for publication.  Many's the time I've had to turn to the help files to refresh my own recollection of a code sequence someone has posted to understand what it is.  And in that vein the use of comment lines in code are always appreciated.  (Another good habit I don't always follow either.)

Hello,

In fact I don't have plans to discountinue them, but I want to encourage good writing style.
Espace sequences are short but CRYPTIC, so you are free to use them in your own code
but if you post on public list TRY to make you code readable and avoid cryptic constructs.
EncodeColor is readable so it is recommended.

Best regards,
