So the vast majority of the pesky map:size() and math:sqrt() calls can drop the prefix.

And are you any clearer on the set->subset separator?
date.year() or date->year() or date=>year()?

So many languages use period, that's why I favour it?

Your logic (implementor view) I find quite clear (user view).
