The other language I have used (and often) is Processing. Before that, and a
long time ago, Lingo.

An earlier post talked about a method they used for "convenience" in a way
they apparently did not understand and many of us educated them, hopefully.
That made me wonder of teh impact on our code when we use various forms
of convenience. Is it convenient for us as programmers, other

When I am writing code, I often do things like this:
context = bpy.context # convenience
then whenever I need bpy.context, I only need to write context

When I forget to use the convenient shorter form
why is bpy.context not interpreted as bpy.bpy.context?
