Hah, yeah... though `lp` is still relatively familiar to those of us who
are unix sysadmins.
As for prn-, I feel that shortcuts like that are icky when we have full
tab completion. I'd rather be verbose and explanatory than short and
cryptic. But printing- just feels wrong. So does printer-.
Just my $0.02 (for the nth time!)

Hi Kent,
I agree with the principle, that command completion is aided by good
quality names, but I don't understand why you think "print-xxx" as a
command to send something to a printer is not standard. Can you
elaborate?
I think Kent meant the older commands
print-all-uas
print-bindings
print-buttons
print-commands
print-focus
print-node-uas
print-plugin-handlers
print-plugins-info
print-settings
would be better named list- or show-, so as no to intermingle with the
new print-(to the printer) commands.
Cheers -Terry
As a concession, I could rename all of my print- commands to printing- (name
of the plugin) or printer- , but I generally agree that the older ones would
make more sense now as list- or display-. I can definitely see why they were
named print- previously, as print has a connotation among programmers to
mean "to the screen" rather than "to the printer". I'd rather not rename my
print- commands, though... they're already pretty long, and just descriptive
enough, I think.
