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.
