Hi Mark,
from the above description, I don't grok the meaning of the "new acc".
Could you describe in a few words what "acc" is going to do?
From a user perspective, I find it hard to differentiate between
"acc"
and "accumulate". I bet this is going to be an eternal
source of
confusion and "which acc is for which purpose?" questions.
If "acc" is different from "accumulate", then I'd like to learn
what
"acc" actually does, how it differs from "accumulate" and try to find
a
keyword which precisely resembles what it does.
Best regards
Ansgar
