My previous comments and the docs are both a 
bit vague about this.

If you choose the "scramble" option, then nobody can
read anything, but you can document the nice global
names you used in your original source file, and people 
who include your file can use them.

No. Scrambling works too. Just tell your users what names
they need to use.

If you care about security, there's no reason 
not to choose the scramble option, other than
a very tiny start-up cost in descrambling your program.
