I would point out that this does not address discoverability, i.e. new users of GAP would not just guess that there is a function called "IsRat". They would probably try "IsRational" first, because this is more canonical than an abbreviation. Of course, you may respond that they should RTFM, which is probably true :) -Keshav CONFIDENTIALITY: This email is intended solely for the person(s) named and may be confidential and/or privileged.
