Hi!
Replying to [comment:32 kcrisman]:
> N has been an alias for this for a long time, so this just making it
consistent - I think this added a method, not a global function.
Yes; I am precisely arguing about this method, and the pollution of the
method namespace of all elements. We can't use anymore x.N to access an
attribute called N in a gap record x (well, we can, but as
x.__getattr__("N") which is not very convenient).
Thanks,
