want a computer to do." -Donald Knuth
which is why instructions for a computer should be kept short. In Knuth's WEB there is @d, not @define, @i, not @include, etc. Likewise, library prefix should not clutter the content. Its main purpose is to instruct a computer where it is supposed to look for an object's definition. For a reader of a patch "cyclone/" means no more than "nonstandard/".
I, for one, do not have an endless memory for abbreviations. I think I
share that trait with the majority of population. Consider yourselves
fortunate if you do have such a memory, but please humor the rest of us.
why the irony? I proposed cc as an option, after all. But ok, I can live without it, although it is only one little, simple to remember, hard-to-misspell abbreviation with a slight pun in it.
