Re: Renaming map->dict, class->type?

Two further naming issues.

(1) "var" was regrettable and "arg" was worse, and "nb" positively cruel.
    If possible, new built in type names should be, and new built in
    predicate names should be made of, entire words, not abbreviated.
    There are obvious exceptions where in the real world an acronym is
    used to the practical exclusion of the full term, like XML or HTTP.
    
(2) "Many array-oriented language programmers" will be familiar
    with "kind" as the technical term for an integral parameter
    of a type, distinguishing say 8-bit characters from 32-bit ones
    or single precision floats from double precision.
