I like "LIKELY" because it's short, eyecatching, and a reversible adjective/adverb that suggests a meta-function rather than an ordinary function. I'd like to stick with LIKELY/UNLIKELY for now, until a better candidate comes along later, riding alongside a champion who is eager enough to do the renaming. - FChE -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6noM1VZbdDOm/ZT0RAldgAJwNQ0DScXDkEhF7eqSxpGXybsAk3gCdEDF0 6rB7vgG4eDZghKEwF76K5ZA= =FPaq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
