I would prefer to use full words, and not abbreviations. I want the
library to have a consistent look, without prefixes, postfixes or
abbreviations. The programmers that use Win4Eu should not have to
doubt about what he/she has to type.
Most of the interfacing with the object-system will happen via
simple verbs: create, destroy, set, ?get?, add, remove, load, save, ...
