In many cases there is no perfect name that will help all people form all the right associations; all we can do is try to consider all the factors, and come up with something that results in a minimum of confusion. -miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
