Hello Linguistas, Shorter is better. In this light, my recommendation was "mod", short for MODule, and / or MethOD, but it didn't get into the Poll List.
We've pretty much settled on restricted/unrestricted here.
Also, I suggested "strict" as a shortened form of "reSTRICTed". Perhaps to much overloading from compiler directives, but it is the root word, after all. If it's not simple, it will get simplified in use, and then you've got some folks refering to things in "slang", which drives newbies bonkers. "Official slang" is preferable, at least then you have some chance of usage being consistent. Later, Jerry S.
