I like abreviation. I'll vote yea on the short keywords too, and the
underscore removal.
Any idea about making spaces available between keywords? Plausible
(doable I don't know) to make a keyword recognisable (oops, my Canadian
sp.) which goes as a pair of words or more? ie. max trace level, or do
they have to be a solid string in the C programming language
definitions? Hey, how would this be for something in POV-Ray script too?
Good idea, but not possible?

Mental note: too many questions at once may appear to inquisitive ;)
