Issue:    user ID → UID

IMO, (and I believe Branden will agree), user ID is more informative than UID.

FWIW, "user ID" is already documented[*] to be preferred in compounds: set-user-ID, set-group-ID (rather than set-UID, set-GID).

(don't know how much inconsistent the pages are regarding that): UID -> user ID.

AFAICS both terms are widely used.


[*] See man-pages(7), subsection "Preferred terms".
