Yeah I hate articles titled like this, I immediately went to check if Thomas Dickey had passed away or something. If something so simple and easy to use, isn't broken I don't know why people continuously think they need to redo the wheel.
(Btw, that was my idea of how to shorten the title too. When you can make a title better simply by taking a substring, that's the best—it minimizes the surgery. The more titles I edit the more I hate having to make up anything, even a single word, to put in there. And sometimes it's sort of magical what you can come up with if you just do a substring search!)
