Ah, yes, that's so very true... ;) > - I do not care about strict adherence to backwards compatibility > - I do care about finding broad standards that make sense in the overall > - I did not know that [once] already exists elsewhere outside of purepd A name - of an object or a funicton - always carries some meaning of its own, which should be related to its behaviour. That is my main point against having [once] closed as default: A closed [once] to me more seems like a "[never]". Viewing it from this point was what made me come up with [countdown]. Maybe [countdown] isn't the best name, either. Alternatives could be [manyshot], [someshot], [passmany], [passcount] etc. What do you think?
