<br>Right—don't you wish they hadn't done that? :-) And in our case it's worse because it is easier to type "java.util" than "mpicbg.imglib.image." Let's change it now while we still can.<br>

By that same argument, Java name clashes are very confusing to a casual programmer.<br><br><blockquote style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">

<br>So we now have two reasonable possibilities, Img and Tensor.

I have not met a biologist yet, for example, who understood without<br>
explanation what I mean when I used the word 'tensor'.<br>
<br>
And we're still talking about image processing, not tensor processing.<br>
<br>
Sure, we could try to do the same as certain *cough cough* companies<br>
introducing their own nomenclature. But I do not like this.<br>
