That seems a bit drastic, but on second thought i.e. and e.g. suffer
from the problem of being unpronounceable: nobody reads them loud as "id
est" or "exempli gratia".

Somewhat bizarrely, looking the latter up via "dict e.g." yields

>From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:

  e.g.
      adv 1: as an example; "take ribbon snakes, for example" [syn:
             {for example}, {for instance}, {e.g.}]

which doesn't even bother mentioning what it stands for.

** [issues:#5337] Create Bottom contexts in a more general way**

**Status:** Started
**Created:** Tue Jun 05, 2018 04:59 PM UTC by Dan Eble

Create Bottom contexts in a more general way

Moving special treatment of "Bottom" into path_to_acceptable_context
() makes it effective during calls to create_unique_context (), which
is the basis of \new and (now) get_default_interpreter ().
