RE: [sv-bc] operator naming

I like this suggestion. 
As one who is always talking about clarity, I should have thought of it
myself.
 
Regards,
Shalom

	Since the operators in angle brackets represent the strong
versions of the corresponding operators, why not to depict that fact in
their names, by naming these operators like "strong_always" or
"s_always". This will make the language and the code easier to
understand. If there is a concern of introducing new keywords, then I
would say that readability of the code is much more important than a
very unlikely backward incompatibility, which can be workarounded by
features like 'begin/end_keywords directives, tool-specific language
compatibility options or simple fixing of the code. A rare backward
incompatibility issue may be fixed, but, if the operators are unclearly
named, the reduced readability will stay forever.

	Hi, 

	SV-AC is working on a proposal (Mantis 1932) to introduce LTL
operators. Never mind for now what they do. 

	Their problem is one of naming. There are two versions of each
operator. The question is how to name the alternate version.

	For example, if one operator is 'always', then two suggestions
for its dual are '<always>', and 'always$'. 

	Are either of these acceptable as a naming convention, or does
anyone have a better suggestion? 

	Thanks, 
	Shalom
