Though of course it's really named after Eric Idle. :-) Until a couple of days ago, I was planning to propose changing 'IDLE' to 'Idle', which is what I have writen. I am willing to go with that change instead. But I presumed that you must have preferred the all-caps version, or perhaps not directly naming it after Eric, and then I thought of how to make 'IDLE' an informative acronym rather than a clumbsy semi-acronyn. So now I prefer to change the interpretation than the spelling. -- Terry Jan Reedy
