Didn't even know that existed, thanks.  There's at least an argument 
listing in the .c file, until you mentioned it I had no idea it was

rvu.  Like, totally.  Short is good, the letters are perfectly placed on 
the keyboard for my hunt-n-peck style, and as you say, you can still 
pronounce it "rview".  I dig it.
