Wow thats pretty special... both an option called realize and a
argument, that won't get confusing no matter how long it lives, also
realize doesn't seem to be conveying a useful meaning, I'm a native
speaker and I'm not sure what you actually mean by realize in this
context.
I'm going with:
to make real; give reality to (a hope, fear, plan, etc.).
but its seems quite an abstract term to associate reality with an
abstract computer object.
Dave, I am not a native speaker, but I have the exact (or may be even
worse) problem. For as much as I try the syntax there is so obscure I
cannot "realize" what it means *at all*, just by looking at it.
Lennart, "realize" really is a bad bad bad choice, please consider
changing it while there is still time.
Simo.
