Comment(by glynn): Replying to [comment:80 wenzeslaus]: > Perhaps we don't have to unabbreviate everything. It seems to me that there is no will to unabbreviate options for `g.region` or module names containing rast, vect or rast3d. FWIW, I would like to unabbreviate everything which could reasonably be unabbreviated (including raster and vector rather than rast and vect). Clearly, there are cases where this would be unreasonable (e.g. option names may contain acronyms which could expand to several words, some of which may be long compound words, or may themselves be acronyms). > I'm for explicit long descriptive option names but if it creates more issues then it solves (`3draster`) and if everybody would be using the shortened version all the time anyway (`rast`, ...), I prefer not to change them. Code should always use the full name. Abbreviations are intended for interactive use. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2409#comment:82> GRASS GIS <http://grass.osgeo.org> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
