in thread Should I use carp/croak or warn/die

I'm fine with Huffman* coding keywords (often used = own keyword) and naming functions is indeed difficult ...

But I'm still not happy, sorry ! :)

    I liked some of your thoughts about "nice to haves" above and I'm always open to new approaches even though I've never met Ms Huffman. I propose some replacements/aliases–

    carp ⇢ gripe
    cluck ⇢ kvetch
    croak ⇢ lament
    confess ⇢ dirge
    shortmess ⇢ demur
    longmess ⇢ expostulate

    Now we're getting somewhere. I am seeing an Acme:: future here; especially if it duplicates every single function in the core and in common usage from the more popular CPAN modules, with the entire thesaurus entry for each! :P ← You can't stop me!

      Rather two additional generic functions which are synonymous to this range of things you like to do with Ms Milli. ;p

      "...seeing an Acme:: future here..."

      Great expectations. I guess putting something like use Carp; sub lament { goto &croak } in a role should do the job (untested).
