One potential compromise- tag in a section in pms about "nonstandard |
14 |
eapis" and throw in some links to places folks can look. That general |
15 |
approach should provide a way to retire standardized EAPIs from the |
16 |
doc also- same thing "go look here". |

Aside from that, the 'first' bit is inaccurate- prefix actually was |
19 |
first (almost since their inception they relied on it). |

Either way, +1 for punting it. Someone earlier labeled it as a "latex |
22 |
obfuscator"- that pretty much nails my views/reasoning for wanting it |
23 |
gone. |

Tt's a bit like c source, ones annoyance grows proportional to the |
26 |
invasiveness of ifdefs. |
