Well. *This* certainly seems to have hit a nerve.
I would be fine with having everything be "hilite". Or with everything
being "highlight". Or with everything being "blxxqvy". The point of
the original bug report was that there's no consistency in the
language. Sometimes you can use the "highlight" form and sometimes you
have to use the "hilite" form. The problem is trying to remember which
is which.
So that's what my pull request fixes.
I agree with what you're saying about the proliferation of synonyms.
I'm not wild about most of the other synonyms in the language
either... "cd", "fld", etc (although I'd hate to give up "loc" and
"rect") But right now we're trying to have it both ways. To my eye the
"hilite" form looks cutesy and unprofessional, but I do understand
developers are lazy and don't like typing, so I'd be fine with that.
It's in the documentation already.
But really... let's move in the direction of some consistency.
+1
Richmond.
