Shorter method names in templates
Add very shorrt shrotcuts for often used smarty methods. E.g a modifier called "t" instead of "oxmultilangassign" or "c" as an alias for oxcontent. This makes writing templates much more convinient

@Tibor: @Martin is right, I was talking about smarty functions and only about a few (3 or 4) I know that short names are hard to read but in case of "oxmultilang" it would be ok to use "t" I think.....

I guess he meant Smarty-Functions/-Inserts/-Modifiers, not view-/core-objects and there methods.
Tibor
Using short words ins contraproductive. You save a few seconds in writing the code will be thankfull if there are longer function names then "c" "f" and "z".
e.g. $b->z("ab")->f($x);
Proper variables are $oProduct, $sProductName (hints the type and describes the content)
