If I still can't convince you Segher, I'm happy to send "patch > 30/29" to do a bulk rename to "notes". Let me know. :) I am still not convinced the worse name is a better name, no :-) But if you don't want to do the work, and instead prefer the much smaller change, that is of course a fine decision. Thank you! (I would be happy with such a 30/29 as well, of course.) Segher
