And that's about as long as I think is worthwhile spending on the discussion :) Feel free to continue discussing if you like, and if there's a strong sentiment against the decision I made we can change it. > Let me suggest again (especially since I'm not sure my previous email > reached this list yet) that rather than compromise on the "e" prefix, we > compromise on all caps for values, which is just as readable without placing > even more pressure on our 80-character line length restriction. All caps actually makes long names *longer* because you now need to add underscores to separate words, rather than using sentence case. For example eSentenceCase is the same length as SENTENCE_CASE, but if you tack on another word the "e" prefix is shorter. Presumably this line-wrapping issue is more pronounced with long names than short names, so this is actually an argument against all caps. kats _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
