Sounds good! I don't use either anymore so I wouldn't know.

What about having it listed with the actual name, but when you're viewing it in the program launcher you have a hint in gray? Something like this:

- Okular Document Viewer

If I have two PDF viewers, should both be called "PDF viewer"? Gnome seems to love hiding the actual names (the gnome document viewer is actually called evince).

> Technically, int32_t is bad in that way, but we are not fooled by it.

Meaning? On my system int32_t is directly typedefed to unsigned int, absolutely no hidden pointers or conversions.

What order are the bytes in 0xabcd intended to be used in? I don't see how making it 0x[ab, cd] would be ambiguous, it's the same assumption of reading left to right.

That applies to GLSL in general. I tried once to emulate that using C unions, but quickly realized that there's no solution for v.xz, v.xw, v.yw, etc.

You can write functions like xyz(v) and that works well enough. Even better if you have ufcs or methods.

Of course it does - endianness interferes with any sort of numeric literal. Doesn't matter if it's hex, decimal, underscored, whatever.
