    There was an article in a recent CACM which 'demonstrated' that it
    didn't matter *what* you called the commands in an editor - the
    command names could be totally meaningless - when people learned
    any set of commands they were equally proficient.

...which means we should worry about how to name commands so people
learn them most easily.
