Comment(by nthiery):

 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,
