Because I don't feel like typing it.

Wait, I'm using C++ now... ;-)

Two wrongs, right, etc.
 
I think clarity should certainly beat brevity if we're talking about a
single function name, but a namespace with 200 names in it is
different, because while yes you have to learn the abbreviation, 
it's only one thing to learn which opens the door to 200
easy-to-learn-and-type names.
