I.e. someone used to Perl will immediately think "oh that's the start time" having seen it hundreds of times before, but someone not used to Perl will go "what's this t-zero thing?". Meanwhile some Lisp programmer is wondering what the hell "i" means in your C for-loops, iterator? :) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
