| grepping for ty still matches type.

egrep -n '\<ty\>' *.[ch]

Actually, I have a macro in my 30-year-old text editor that does
find * '(' -name '*.[ch]' -o -name '*.cpp' ')' -print0 | xargs -0 -r egrep -n 
'\<ty\>'
if my cursor is on ty.

As I said, the meaning is a bit dubious to start with.

I think that it is suggestively odd :-)

| Oh dear.

Yeah, well, it is hard to delete code.

Last week this struct was more intricate.  I fixed that.  But the team
doesn't want to lose the promise of future features.
