IMO no need to apologize, since the "documentation" of its
possible abbreviation is only a well hidden hint given by denoting
the stage name in upper case/lower case. This is shown in the CMS
help files, but not in the author's edition of 'the Book' as I
know it.

In addition, editing using a fixed font like 'Courier New' the
lower case 'L' is very close to the number '1'. As such it is
regarded as bad habit using 'l' as variable name. Maybe same holds
true for the stage Locate. (Nonetheless I mostly use !strip!l to
remove blank lines.)

Best,
M.
