In-Reply-To: <iluoeq0gavp.fsf@latte.josefsson.org> (message from Simon Josefsson on Fri, 09 Apr 2004 22:22:02 +0200)

    I prefer "precisely when" instead of "if and only if".  Sometimes,
    even the "precisely" can be omitted.  Less technobabbly.  Alas,
    changing "iff" into "when" can make a documentation string line too
    long.

I think "precisely when" is a clear way to say it, but just "when"
often is not.
