...len' is common, it would annoy me greatly to have to rename all my 'len...

...method names.

Nonetheless, I don't think 'len' is any more of a go-er...

I've seen len used at least as often as length as a variable name...

...routine, while 'len' could be an operator keyword. (Any existing code using len as local...

$len (or even $length) seems best to me, it doesn't conflict with anything and...

...something else to form the required token.

  len$
  $$
  [$]
  #$
  $#

etc ...

Some regard symbols as ugly, but...

...len(myarray)' (or even 'len myarray') instead of myarray.length

...int len);

class Vector(E) : List!(E)
{
List!(E) sublist(int off, int len)
{
return...
