If we don’t do more of that (the '<font face="Helvetica Neue" class="">"Add needless words" to Objective-C method names’ thread, or other quick wins like this one), it would be weird to make just this one exception, a single special case. I fear this would be more surprising than not changing anything at all.</font></div><br class=""><div class="">
