Do you use .NET? If so, the BCL design guidelines are in dire need of your support! According to Krzysztof Cwalina, the BCL is now going to start using long names for parameterized types. Forget Dictionary<K, V> and clean, concise, code. Nope. Apparently some people couldn't figure out what the heck a List<T> was, and really needed List<TypeOfTheItemInTheDamnList>.

And the BCL team, in an effort to save some work in tools I imagine, decided not to add documentation/descriptions thru metadata (i.e., add an attribute to say <T> in List means *the type of the item in the list*).

Here's the details:

So, do you want to write/maintain/use/and in general just look at horribly verbose code? If not, get you say in here: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/ProductFeedback/viewFeedback.aspx?feedbackid=3cee09d8-3b82-4c5f-83a4-be52ba9b9e98

Vote against this ugly excersice in verbosity today!
