I have no problems with you choosing more verbose names; I access the
functions through a modified CMUCL-specific "acl-compat" library anyway,
so I can easily adapt to name changes.
I chose the short forms mostly because the functions are really only
wrappings of the basic C-level socket functions with the similar names;
in that way I would not have to store in my mind the information that
"ext:receive-from-datagram" really just is "recvfrom".
thank you for your consideration.
