The major difference -- the change of paradigm (to put it in elegant

In api 2, we attempted to use it to tell our client programmer how to
talk to us. That did not work out too well.
In api 3, we propose to offer the service of letting our client
programmer tell us how she wishes to talk, using some construct such as
>>>cursr.paramstyle = 'named'
This method of operation is so different that I wish we could use a
different term for it, an actual English word. Except that I cannot
think of one, and I refuse to type "parameter_replacement_variant", so
paramstyle it remains, spell checker be damned.
Please help future googlers and use something distinctive - "param_variant"?
