I'm honored! (And I didn't even have to sign up for GitHub!) How'd you find your way over to this forum?
You're absolutely right in that I've glossed over quite a few details, and clearly I've screwed up in some ways that were immediately obvious to you :P
If it seems like I found it immediately obvious, it's only because I took a long time writing & discovering these thoughts before committing them to one big post. :)
yes, this is exactly the point. The idea is that if you're giving it a name, that actually means something pretty significant, much more than just a way to access some specific bit of RAM with a bunch of ascii characters as reference.
I would like to have the short forms from my examples in ObjC though.. writing "x:x y:y width:width height:height" is actually something that happens quite a bit ^_-
I do lack perspective on this because I've never used Objective-C. I mean, apparently other people already commit to more-verbose ways of having strict "name enforcement" (though I'm not sure how many people use Objective-C by choice...). It's certainly an interesting idea, and I hope to see how it develops.
