Re: Anachronistic Acronyms in Parrot?

Use the longer form and encourage people to use editors with auto
complete... that gives you literary code while perserving quick typing.

Also, that aside, in STL there's often some types that are awkwardly long to
use in statements (ie, stuff like vector<fooBar>::const_iterator in a loop
initializer). A typical solution is to use a typdef that defines something
like CI or VfBCI. At least that way, the abbreviation is documented in the
code, and someone reading it doesn't have to go to an external source to
learn what the abbreviation means.
