Hey Tianyang,

The changes here for the most part look good (with a few comments --
see below), but the title and changelog could use some work.

For one, you're not actually doing any refactoring -- I'd call this
patch a "clean-up" patch.

Secondly, you should go through and enumerate the different clean-ups
you do.  For instance, you mention why you remove the __ at the head
of functions in your cover letter, but you don't mention it here.

* course-grained

Also, I'm not sure what the point of indenting all these comments out
an extra space is.  I don't object, of course, if Meng doesn't object,
but at very least it could use a one-line explanation in the
changelog.

Otherwise, looks good, thanks.
