Actually, I do and did :-) but in the post it seemed clearer to stress
that only one unique letter was required in order to satisfy IDL.

Also, I personally never abbreviate keywords and think it's poor
practice to do so (what if an additional keyword gets added to a later
version that matches some abbreviation I have grown accustomed to...
uuugh!).
