I don't think many would have a hard time recognizing the parallel between "newl" and "endl." If you rename it to "newline," there's no chance of misunderstanding the manipulator, right?
I know "new_line" or "newline" would be clearer, but "newl" happens to be the same length as typing in ['\n'] or ["\n"], four characters. If I change "skipl" to "skip_line", I should do the same to "newl" to be consistent.
"newline" is easier to type than "\n" or '\n' so the comparative length isn't really an issue. -- Rob Stewart stewart@sig.com Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer;
