I am sure the way I tend to abbreviate things is not how anyone else would. So why would the stdlib try to? it's pretty amazing that you've been able to use Python without noticing that the standard library is full of abbreviations. Just because the stdlib is full of abbreviations does not mean it should be continued. Precedence != acceptance .

What I find interesting about your responses is that you're using the abbreviation "stdlib", assuming that your audience will understand that easily enough.
