In addition, this problem is discussed within

Incidentally, it is a rather strong assumption that
programmers will give a program the name you think
it should have. The name -rmedian()- was ruled
out at the time -rmed()- was first written because
the program name _grmedian.ado was not
compatible with the 8.3 filename.ext limit
imposed by DOS and (if I recall correctly) Windows 3.1.
-findit row median- finds more than -findit rmedian-.
