Shorter names for vis_filepath and vis_filename
What do you think of having shorter names for vis_filepath and vis_filename?
I was thinking fp instead of vis_filepath and fn instead of vis_filename or really anything shorter than what it currently is would do.
See the wiki for ways that these environment variables are used.
TODO I guess I can also just create a guix package that patches vis to change to my desired name for those environment variables but I was wondering what upstream thought about them? wdyt
I'd rather not add these. The current names are less confusing and I don't expect anyone to write these so often the length matters.

Au contraire, I would like to use it all the time. As much as I use % in vim. Things like source % for reloading configuration, !ispell % or many other tools for processing the current file would greatly improve with shorter symbol for the current file.
I have to agree with @mcepl here. I would be using it all the time if it were shorter like in vim.
I think I will just patch vis when I get around to it. I've been too lazy to maintain a fork for this.
No need for fork, we are trying to be active here. @ninewise looks over pull requests quite well.
By fork I meant to to just patch vis to do what I need not to turn it into some other project ;)
Well I guess if there's more interest, we could accept a patch adding (not changing) these names.
