Just to chuck in my two cents worth, I wouldn't be in a hurry to break
out goops for something that's not inherently oop. Or short names
either, since I think short names tend to seem like a good idea at the
start, but as a program gets big you forget what belongs to what, and
wish for at least some sort of naming regularity as guidance.
