Terminology normalization

[JJ]

The problem

Looking for handles for some reason I have found that file handle appear at least in that form or in the filehandle form. We should try and normalize terminology across all the documents, and this is only an example. When normalization is done, we should turn it into a test later on.

Suggestions

Agree on one single form for terms that are frequently appearing in the documentation. Please add terms below, and let's discuss in the comments which form is preferred.

• file handle, filehandle, file-handle → filehandle

• runtime, run-time → runtime

• short-hand, shorthand →shorthand

• look-ahead, lookahead →lookahead

• look-behind, lookbehind →lookbehind

• smart-match, smartmatch, smart-matching, smart-matches → smartmatch

• Add the words to the xt/word-variants.t test

• Add them to the writing-docs/STYLEGUIDE.md

@ufobat I see you have edited this, but could you please indicate the commit where you made that change?

“filehandle” is done now, but we need tests.

Working on this issue, I've noticed that in the case of "smart-match" there are some other terms related i.e.:
smart-matching
smart-matches

Just to be sure if all of them should be in the form smartmatch*

@chsanch You can also add the words you changed to the xt/word-variants.t test.

@chsanch You can also add those words to the styleguide: writing-docs/STYLEGUIDE.md

You probably mean xt/word-variants.t

Ok, I'm on it.
