In this case, the change might shadow or unshadow another symbol (pws checked that for the terms his patch uses), would be one more manual step for any future «blame» or «log» run, would necessitate a rebase for anyone who has local patches to zpty.c, and would introduce a https://xkcd.com/927/ problem to anyone reading zsh's pseudo-terminal module's C source file. On the other hand, the change would allegedly make it easier for some people to participate in the community. On the third hand, the change would likely have social costs as well. However, these considerations are largely not specific to zsh, so I expect we could save ourselves a lot of time by finding a good write-up of the pros and cons of such terminology changes. Speaking of write-ups, I wonder if producingoss would accept patches adding discussion of such terminology changes.
