in thread the 'dot dot dot' operator

It occurs to me that I dislike bang-bang-bang because that conflicts with the common idiom bang-bang to booleanize something. Also, I recall dot-dot-dot being proposed elsewhere as a fatal op which on being executed warns that something wasn't complete and it shouldn't have been executed.

'booleanize' is the word I was looking for yesterday while reading through the Camel. The authors had said something about not wanting to use the word 'boolification'.	[reply]
