As a joke I say in response: Why don't we adopt the X Windows conventions on function names? After all, I happen to like to type in "XtVaCreateManagedWidget" every time I'm going to bring up X. So why not use "PlVaCreateWorkspaceArea" or some other very descriptive term? I can see such things as "PlStartMyForLoop" too. (I'm in a weird mood today. :-) ) PS: Remember this IS just a joke and is not my true feelings on this matter. I was up most of the night and am not responsible for bad jokes, good jokes, or just jokes in general. :-) ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
