May I respectfully suggest "to render the code maximally intelligible to 
human readers" ?  Terseness /may/ have a place where the sole object is 
to maximise the speed of delivery and/or rendering, but in any situation 
where it is probable or even possible that a human may need to read 
and/or modify the code at some point, I prefer explicitness and even 
redundancy.  I draw the line at redundant semi-colons. though, which I 
eschew with a vengeance.
