Well then, on a similar note, I propose the following name changes:


(+) is now "yesIShouldReallyLikeToKnowTheSumOfTheseTwoThingsOverWhichTheOperationOfSummationIsDulyAndTotallyDefined"

(-) is the same, but with "Summation" changed to "AdditiveInverseAndSummation"

the `do` construct ought to be renamed "doThisMonadicComputationForMePleaseByDesugaringThisConvienentNotationAndTurningItIntoASequenceOfBindFunctionsAndLambdaAbstractionsSuchThatMyIntendedMeaningInFactIsReflected"

Further, things like "unsafePerformIO" is not nearly descriptive enough, however, I leave it's appropriate renaming as an exercise to the reader...

Guideline:

NEVER, *never ever*, use 'length' ***unless you really want to know the exact length of a
list***

Proposal:
rename 'length' to 'yesIReallyWantToKnowTheExactLengthOfThisListSoPleaseCalculateItForMe'
to reduce performance bugs caused by naive uses of length.
