Let's bikeshed! :-) This is clearly not about line length, but about information density. When your code is littered with BridgeFactoryFooEnterpriseBeanAdaptors it might be bit hard to spot the 'Foo' part. But clearly there's no issue with users doing: from vim import functions as f, commands as c So I don't think being ambiguous by default is all that justifiable here. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
