That's correct, there are no Kconfig symbols starting with AS_. But still, I would like to hear whether there's a reasonable chance I might convince other people to adopt my peeve.
The thinking behind that peeve is, basically, that where people encounter a CONFIG_* macro they should only have to check the .config file to see how that macro was evaluated in the build that was used.
Thanks,
