19:41 <somlo> anyone have a suggestion for concise single word variable name for a sector count (other than "count", which is already in use elsewhere)?

19:43 <somlo> e.g., I want to transfer Y sectors, starting at sector X; I have `sector` for X, and would prefer not to use `sector-count` for Y; As I said, just `count` is not an option, `range` doesn't make sense, `size` implies bytes not sectors, etc.

19:53 <jevinskie[m]> sector_start/sector_end?

20:04 <somlo> I need a concise, single word for Y=(sector_end - sector_start)

20:05 <somlo> `count` would make the most sense, but it's already in use as a variable name, and avoiding "commit churn" is weaker secondary goal :)

20:06 <somlo> and `sector_count` is ok, but I would love to avoid the compound word variable name if there's a plausible alternative...

20:27 <somlo> I'll probably either give up and go with `sector_count`, or get over my reluctance to add "churn" to the sources and rename the current variable named `count` so I can use that for my own purpose :D

21:07 <zyp> «sectors»

21:08 <zyp> although that could also be interpreted as a container of sectors

21:10 <somlo> `sectors` would make a lot of sense, except it's a single `s` away from `sector`, which could invite hard-to-spot bugs...
