I was going to suggest s/paren_list/parenlist/ for symmetry with qwlist and because munge is both imprecise and derogatory, but I don't have a strong preference. FWIW, automated name shortening is available on VMS as a compiler switch, but using it will require changes to xsubpp, which has its own home-grown name shortening. Shouldn't be that big a deal to do, but neither are most of the other hundred things ahead of it on my to-do list.Thread Previous | Thread Next
