[sword-devel] Shorter book name abbreviations

[Kenneth Arnold]

The ESV publishers did all the hard work already to figure out what books
people meant when they used what abbreviations. They can even distinguish
word searches from book references. Their code and data are at

Hi Greg,

While I could implement such a system, I struggle to see that it's high
enough priority to bother.  As a generalisation I'm not very keen on working
on configurability and special options, because I strongly suspect that most
people don't use them (I certainly don't if I can avoid it), and I know of
problems which affect every user rather than a small sub-set and so are
probably more important.  [which is not to ignore the problem and its
solution, just to minimise it :) ].
