I don't need to be told that a clock signal is a clock.

But how do you know it's a clock if you're not told?!

I would have expected that the variable or port bit had been named in a way that it could be read from the source.
    P2 |= 1 << CLOCK_BIT;
and I would have expected variables/constants in the source to match signal names on the schematics.
