I don't think this is a good idea (which should be read as an objection). These aren't acronyms; they are codepoints, and a vast number of 2-letter combinations have values. It seems like a tremendous amount of noise. If you want to look up a 2-letter or 3-letter country code, that's a different question than asking for an acronym. Jeremy has pointed out that it's there already. > If people see value in adding those, would you also > want to have the gTLDs added? I kinda feel like > that'd be too many. It is definitely too many, and in the wrong place. Now, if you want to add an argument -c or something to wtf(6) so that it looks up the argument which must be a 2 or 3 letter cc instead of treating it as an acronym, by consulting /usr/share/misc/country or domain, that seems ok.
