=head2 list to remember
1334+
1335+
A facet of a language's design that puts the onus on the user to remember
1336+
which of a group of similar constructs have certain behaviors (or requires
1337+
frequent consultation of documentation to the same effect.) A goal of
1338+
language design is to minimize the amount of material a user must remember,
1339+
by using consistent behaviors across similar constructs, or by exposing these
1340+
behaviors through syntax. A natural language analogy to "list to remember"
1341+
would be irregular verb conjugations.
