That's a great point. My focus is mostly on ensuring that the single word cases (.e.g Color::BLUE), which in my experience are extremely common if not the vast majority, don't get penalized. I actually think the issue becomes less pronounced with very long names, because at a certain point they're so long that extra characters don't matter much anyway in terms of code formatting impact. - Seth _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
