Re^6: parent::versioned supports minimum version specification in parent classes

Your sensibility is perfect I think. Short variable names / descriptors are false economy. They waste 10x more developer time in squinting, guessing, look-ups than they save in typing or appease in decorative sensibility. parent::versioned is straightforward and clear. parent::v, without already knowing the proper context, is the opposite. Thanks for the module!

Why not parent::minver? "versioned" doesn't say minimum version

Why not parent::minver? "versioned" doesn't say minimum version Because that would rule out maximum version, specific version, list of versions, and version ranges. Overly specific is worse than overly terse.	[reply]

But it doesn't support those features now -- doubt it would ever? "version" versus "versioned"?	[reply]

I opened the door to them by crypto-requesting them just by writing it down. Ask davido if I didn’t. :P Why limit oneself? Why start painting at the doorway instead of the corner? “Versioned” is less semantically ambiguous than “version.”	[reply]

'Versioned' is the correct word, for the arguments already stated. Alex / talexb / Toronto Thanks PJ. We owe you so much. Groklaw -- RIP -- 2003 to 2013.	[reply]
