Hello,
There are the following aliases (among others) in src/suprv1.lisp.
I'd like to cut the ones marked by (-) in this list.
If I don't hear objections I'll go ahead and cut them.
(-) ratcoeff = ratcoef
(-) ratnum = ratnumer
(+) true = ?t
(-) binom = 'binomial
(+) derivative = diff
(-) prod = product
(-) bothcoeff = bothcoef
All of these marked (-) play no computational role.
(true = ?t and derivative = diff are well-embedded in the code.)
None of these, (-) and (+) alike, are documented, aside from
a few oblique references; true = ?t and derivative = diff
probably should be documented. (true = ?t might be, already.)
I don't see a motivation for the (-) items except convenience
(ratnum = ratnumer, binom = 'binomial, prod = product)
or to compensate for an easily-mistaken name
(ratcoeff = ratcoef, bothcoeff = bothcoef).
This proposal is inspired by bug report # 770258.
