$ cd gcc-HEAD
$ egrep '\<cl\>' . | wc -l
332
$ egrep -r '\<cl\>' . | wc -l
760
egrep -r '\<cls\>' . | wc -l
30
$ egrep -r '\<klass\>' . | wc -l
44
My personal favourite is 'cl', which also happens to be the
most popular. 'cls' would be my second choice.
If we decide to set a standard naming style, we'd better
update all of the codebase, not just the few occurrences
that I introduced.
