[Zope3-dev] Proposed jargon change: placeful -> local, placeless -> global

[Guido van Rossum]

> I propose the following Jargon change:
> 
>    - Objects whose use or behavior depends on their location in
>      the object system are "local" (rather than "placeful").
> 
>    - Objects whose use and behavior are independent of their location in
>      the object system are "global" (rather than "placeless").
> 
> I think "local" and "global" are clearer, easier to say and less cute, and,
> thus, preferable.
