Or why do they assume you don't work in a shop that
labels "use" a mortal sin?
These shops exist, and though I disagree with their
attitude, I think it was inappropriate for the 9X designers
to force them to choose between their religion
and readability.
(Or to force employees of such a shop to choose between
the boss's rules and readability.)
Revision suggestion (yes, I know this is the wrong address):
We're stuck with these redundant names, since some are already
in use. But next revision, packages like unbounded could, via
'renames,' provide alternate names that won't look stupid
in an anti-use shop.
