Not really easy. We have in C++ macros X Y LEFT RIGHT etc, and making them lowercase would heavily conflict with typical variable names. Making things different between C and Scheme here is definitely an option. However, conflicts between variables x and y and X and Y are still very likely. Granted: with lexical closure and without using things like the C preprocessor, the conflicts will tend to occur only locally. Still, I doubt that we would be doing programmers a net favor over the current names. I am not particularly enamored to them, but I don't see an exit strategy with reasonable long-term benefits either. At least not if we are talking about a mere renaming change without significant other changes. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
