$nl is easy to type and it's like a newline -- it adds space between your markup elements. So it's a Factor help markup newline, which isn't easy to confuse with the 'nl' word. The implementation is just a detail, imo the important thing is that the word name describes what it does conceptually. I vote not to change it.
