Re: Help sought understanding shorthands wrt modules/packages

[Gerd Möllmann]

I was asking specifically about shorthands wrt to their use as a module 
replacement, and I think tomas replied in that context.

If anyone wants to know why I think shorthands should be used only in 
exceptional circumstances, and not broadly, I could explain that, but 
that's not what I'm currently after.

And I guess, after reading the threads, at least the parts that didn't 
veer off completely,  I'm no longer excused :-)
