True, but horizontal space *is* valuable (copied from above), and some of the suggested long names were a bit too long for my taste. Abbreviations will emerge anyway, the question is merely: Will numpy provide/recommend them (in addition to having long names maybe), or will it have to be done by somebody else, possibly resulting in many different sets of abbreviations for the same purpose.
