Why does it need a short name? If the name is too long to type then that's an argument for better IDEs. Otherwise you end up with stuff like strncpy to "save typing". gzip eliminates the file size issue. I'm in agreement with Marat that find() is not as clear as most DOM APIs usually are. findBySelector() makes much more sense. - Elliott - E
