"Your sensibility is perfect I think. Short variable names / descriptors are false economy. They waste 10x more developer time in squinting, guessing, look-ups than they save in typing or appease in decorative sensibility."

I can't agree more with this. I write in several languages, and across all of them, I can present a consistent example: It sucks when someone creates a function/method named something like vm() in the context of actuating/instantiating something in a Virtual Machine API, come to find after digging for 30 minutes that it means vacuum manipulation, completely irrelevant to what you'd think it means.

A few extra keystrokes in a function name goes imho a long way in not having to delve deep in many cases.

This is a well thought out addition to the existing functionality. I like how you've ensured 100% test coverage across everything, even the 'parent' ;)

Good job davido, thank you.
