Well I'd prefer to break the english language than break the -able 
endings. It's not like we've never done it before:

focusable - not a word
themeable - not a word (coming soon)
draggable - not a word
popupable - not a word
redirectable - not a word

In fact, the only ones that are real are clickable and selectable. :)

So... maybe linerable?

It's nice to be able to ls *able.xwt. It's also nice to say to new 
users that there's  a definitive naming scheme for different parts.
