Oh I see. But that notation is only standard in shell languages and is not going to help someone guess the name of the object or what it does, especially if they are not used to english.
If they are so much not used to English, then how do you justify names like [hip~] and [dac~] ?
So you want something guessable by someone in most any language, then do your best to support [>] [<] [>=] etc, because that's exactly what you need.
So if I understand you correctly, you need something written in English for people who can't read English, and is guessable by them because they can't use help files and they don't read manuals, and at the same time it can't be the symbols that they already know because the filesystems might not support the characters that could already be substituted by hexloader which might be not loaded, on a system that deprecated non-libdir -lib for ideological reasons about how much code should be put per file.
Maybe I should've just say, just figure out how to support special characters so that we don't have to hear about elongated names designed for people who can't read them.
