Well, there's nothing else in this namespace (i.e., amongst use-flags) which uses this word, and I don't see anything else that would want to use it in-tree. So, I don't see what the problem is with us taking over it :) As for confusions w.r.t. name, the use-flag descriptions exist precisely to clarify that. I personally wouldn't assume a use-flag's intention before seeing it's corresponding description. Also note that perl/ruby/python/java/javascript etc bindings will be/are using gobject-introspection[1], so this particular usage of the term will become very prevalent in the near future. 1. http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection/Users -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan Gentoo GNOME+Mozilla Team
