    Allowing "__" also allows import and that opens up pretty much everything, including text compression.

    The idea here is to force code warriors to somehow compress code and/or text without ready-made solutions.

    Maybe it's overrated at 5 kyu (I was aiming at 6), but it can't be changed now

    I would say it sparks creativity, but given that imports and "__" are also prohibited, it only sparks creativity in a very narrow direction... which isn't very creative.

    I'd rather make a single change: remove the prohibition against "__". This would allow a broader range of solutions, without (I think) making this less than 5 kyu.

    It's the second line of a 4-lines description. IMHO it's clear enough.

    P.S. without the constraint, the kata doesn't make sense.
