Amen!!!    

If you ask me, this whole API discussion gives me visions of some poor 
Fortran programmer huddled over their terminal trying to figure out
how to cram 500 function names into a set of 6-letter identifiers.
Sure, it may be short to type and if you are willing to invest 10000
hours to learn the whole system it might even be obvious.  However,
for the rest of us who have to go look at code like that, it's nothing 
but a horror--and it's sure as hell not obvious.  Does *ANYONE* in their 
right mind actually want to maintain code that looks like this?  I
sure don't.   I don't know anyone else who does either.
