Maybe a better parallel is that people who write a lot of I/O code in

Yes, the long name suits the Java naming conventions.  However, for some
other languages/libraries (especially scripting languages), a long style
runs against the grain.  The nice thing about the shorter name is that it's
more accessible, convenient, and concise for code in all languages without
being too bizarre in any of them.

I believe we'd all like to see ST suit as many languages and styles as
possible.
