Rename sigils to ~VEC and ~MAT
I sent a proposal for multi-letter uppercase sigils in Elixir. If accepted, we should rename our sigils to the ones above.
Can you explain why you don't want to keep the shorter versions? Are they confusing?
Yes, pretty much. And given we are before 1.0 and still early in the adoption process, we can afford to rename without taking a single letter sigil. Furthermore, single letter sigils are by definition limited and it increases the chances of conflicts with other community projects. Elixir (and libraries) rarely use shortcuts and sigils were an exception so far.
