keyword abbreviations seem like a remnant of the
old days of command line processing.

Does anyone still do that?

And using single letter keywords sounds like a sin
against programming styles. It is in the same boat
as calling your funtions f1, f2 and f3.

A unique descriptive name is always nice. :)

Cheers,

PS if i sound a little gruff, it is because I am going through
some code with 8 character obsfucated funtion names, which
redefines variables all over the place (m = n_elements then
m = matrix size then m = counter in a loop argh!) and explicitly
declares the size of arrays at the main level, AND
deep within subroutines. Basically, it is unmodifiable.
