<body><div>In the previous thread on this topic, there was a lot of bikeshedding about the specific keyword. A bunch of people (myself included) suggested just "associated" instead, some people suggested a few alternatives (like "type" or "associated type"). I don't recall if anyone actually explicitly said they prefer the given name "associatedtype", though there were of course people who voted +1 without opining on the subject at all.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>In any case, my point is, given that this proposal is now accepted, are we committed to the keyword "associatedtype" or is there still room to pick a different keyword? Enough people in the thread were in favor of using a different keyword that it seems worth considering.<br></div>
