Yes. To abbreviate commands.
Here's a list of commands: START STOP QUEUE QUIT
Here's the abbreviation list:
qw(
STA START
STAR START
START START
STO STOP
STOP STOP
QUE QUEUE
QUEU QUEUE
QUEUE QUEUE
QUI QUIT
QUIT QUIT
);
See the usefulness? I can say "que", and the hash find that "que" maps to
"queue".
