Are any other @rustlang folks bothered by `Vec` over `Vector` but `Option` over `Opt`? (And a billion other things that are abbreviated that don't need to be)

I like Vec and Buf, honestly. I think Opt and Res would drive me insane though, and I'm not sure I can articulate the difference

I'm arguing for longer names, not abbreviations FWIW. Even if you like the `Buf` suffix, I think that's an argument for `String` and `StringBuf` over `str` and `String` ;)

I phrased that poorly. I agree that I'm glad Res and Opt aren't real. I don't mind Vec and Buf as half words and I'm not sure why offhand. I'm trying to imagine their full words in use and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet

I could go for a lowercase string as the primitive/slice type and StringBuf as the growable, yeah

"There is no reason for `str` to be lowercase" is absolutely a hill I am willing to die on, but I totally get the argument for it being lowercase. (My personally opinion is that it should just be &String and the compiler should just deal with optimizing cap away(

Isn't &String currently a thin pointer, while &str is fat?
