Additional practical problem is SendToModule FvwmPerl eval $c++; then one letter variables conflict with perl variables. > > $d - $[desk.num] I think it may be $[desk.n] for consistency with $[page.nx], $[page.ny]. > > $w - $[w.id] > > $n - $[w.name] > > $c - $[w.class] > > $r - $[w.resource] > > $v - $[version.line], $[version.num], $[version.info] > > $x - we already have $[vp.x] for this > > $y - we already have $[vp.y] for this > > > > Any comment are welcome. > > I've no objection against these changes. However, I think we > should support the one letter name for 2.6. I think I didn't add any breakage of 2.4.x syntax during 2.5.x.

I will also backport these variables to 2.4.x, so there will be no any reason to use the one latter variables anymore, unless I see objections.
