Yup, I noticed that too (though keep in mind that Antennahouse is almost 100% non-native English speakers, and that is reflected in the naming of several AH proprietary properties, as well as the rest of the documentation). Perhaps a name like min-last-line-length or min-last-line-words would be as explicit as possible, but a bit too verbose. ~Lea
