Description

've' & 'ui' are fine, but 'sa', 'dm', 'ce' are annoyingly cryptic. Whenever I context-switch to VE code after a period of absence, I have to remind myself what these acronyms stand for. If 'lineardata' and 'metaitems' are not too prolix to function as directory names, then neither is 'standalone'.

Surely you mean "me".

Seriously, though: the two-letter scheme is indefensible and should be changed.
