</span>I've only just now figured out that the "oid" here is the suffix<br>
meaning "similar/related to", and has nothing to do with object IDs or<br>
other uses of the term OID. Could it be spelled POSIXISH or UNIXISH or<br>
something? The -ish suffix doesn't collide with as many<br>
computer-related concepts.<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">The current plan is to spell it POSIX.<br clear="all"></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">--Guido van Rossum (<a href="http://python.org/~guido">python.org/~guido</a>)</div>
