Me: "We already have \teeny \tiny \small \large \huge, so let's keep
\larger iso \bigger".
You said that after I said \bigger, and it's a good reason. So
now I'm also for \larger.
And for completeness, \teenier \tinier and \huger. [Ducks]
But seriously, assuming one can remember the set of choices without
consulting the manual, how can one remember which of \teeny or \tiny
is smaller? (The Wiktionary editors consider them synonyms.)
Moreover, if \bigger is cast out for being colloquial, how does teeny
get a free pass?
Wouldn't it be better to reduce the number of preset sizes by nixing
\teeny too? Users who really need shorthand for \teeny,
\hardlyLegible, or \invisibleToTheNakedEye can define their own
functions, after all.
