last word on keyword

Elliot:

In discussions with FDSCo, we noted that the keyword *docs* is easy to
mistake as using two wildcards around 'docs'.

Another point was made that not requiring extra keystrokes (such as the
shift to get the *) might increase usage/make for less grumbling and
happier developers.

Here are a few that fit this bill, which is to have some semantic or
structure meaning, not easily be confused with another meaning in the
same context (of coding or a commit log):

[docs]
//docs//

Thoughts?  Any others?

thx - Karsten
