Do you really think this is the right > thing? top-level-ref ? ? Code and documentation are two different things IMO. You could write "top-level" in English text and use "toplevel" in identifiers if you find it more appropriate. >> s/e.g./e.g.,/ > > To me, s/e.g./for example/ is an idempotent transformation.

A quick googling reveals that opinions diverge, but that the comma after "e.g." is often used in American English. Thanks, Ludo'.
