I mean the quote taken from your previous message:
"Another, somewhat similar, piece is the famous '3x4 notched trapezoid'.
Unfortunately, this piece has a wholly dissimilar name:
4859.DAT Wedge 3 x 4 Plate"
I just wanted to mean that this naming scheme for this part (4859) is not so
unfortunate..:-)

Uhm...quite high, huh?..especially I still can't understand the need for a
piece description like "boat..." for those plate and bricks . The first
"boat bow plate" that I've ever seen was from a technic aircraft..:-) They
can be named as "wedge..." simply.
And "w/o corner(s)" types are simply wings, aren't they?

Maybe adding a suffix like "double" or "double sided" to parts like this one
(I mean both corners are missing, in a symmetrical way) would be nicer.
