The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Mihael also preferred longer and more descriptive names. I am less
opposed to the shorter names. I don't think I would have chosen
*these* names, but I probably would have chosen shorter than what you
and Mihael seem to prefer, and I don't have a particularly strong
negative reaction to these names.
There is a school of thought that goes: You have to learn keywords
anyway. They have special meaning in the language, just like you would
learn mathematical symbols. If there aren't too many of them to learn,
and they will be showing up all over the place, it is nice to have
them short. Variables and functions you write yourself can have names
as descriptive (and as verbose) as you want.
But by no means are you alone. Agreeing with Mihael already puts you
in good stead. I think there are lots of programmers and language
designers on both (or all?) sides of the issue of how to choose
keywords.
