7 proposals for renaming the 'space alist-key have been
discussed, but a decision has not yet been made. And I just
added an 8th proposal (initial-distance).
To recap, I think the arguments *for* each of these are
mostly self-evident, so the list here only includes the
arguments *against* those that have been opposed:
1) default-distance
* sounds like the program's default, not the user's
2) optimal-distance
* sounds like the resulting trade-off between the
desired distance and situational spacing constraints
3) desired-distance
4) requested-distance
5) base-distance
* sounds like the distance between "bases"
6) unstretched-distance
* sounds like space can only stretch, not compress
7) basic-distance
8) initial-distance
I vote for either 7 or 8. What about you?
9) initial-separation
* longer but describes the meaning more accurately
now we have an item-item-spacing format
I vote for 8 or 9.
