@EyalL @curious_reader @puffnfresh @pelotom to be clear, at no time has it ever been used that way. No amount of wishful thinking worked.

@dibblego While I disagree with the claims on this wikipage, the attitudes fit what @EyalL said of "idiom." http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ProgrammingIdiom …

@kaleidic @EyalL I agree that many people say words that suggest this. Actions matter. Not once have I seen it.

@dibblego @EyalL Seen what? I don't know what kind of actions you have in mind (that you have not seen.)

@kaleidic @EyalL I have never seen idiomatic code mean actions consistent with what many people say it means.

@dibblego @kaleidic @EyalL In my tiny world, idiom means "instantly recognizable pattern which doesn't require analysis for comprehension".

@notcalledjack @kaleidic @EyalL Does "comprehension" include "the claim of having comprehended, but which fails under test"?

@dibblego @kaleidic @EyalL Nope.
