+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+**Abbreviations** is a module with one automatically exported subroutine, `abbreviations`, which takes as input a set of words and returns the original set with added unique abbreviations for the set. (Note the input words are also abbreviations in the context of this module.)
+
+Its signature:
+
+    sub abbreviations($word-set,      #= Str, List, or Hash (Set)
+                     :$out-type = HA, #= the default, HashAbbrev
+                     :$lower-case,    #= convert the word st to lowercase
+                     :$min-length,    #= minimum abbreviation length
+                     ) is export {...}
+
+A *word* satisfies the Raku regex `$word ~~ /\S+/` which is quite loose. Using programs can of course further restrict that if need be. For example, for use with module **Opt::Handler** words must satisfy this regex: `$word ~~ /<ident>/`.
+
+A natural consequence of generating all the abbreviations for a set of one word is this: the output provides a regex alternation which matches any partial length of the target word. For example, given a target word 'Args':
+
+    use Abbreviations;
+    use Test;
+    my $target = "Args";
+    my $regex = abbrev $target; # OUTPUT: «"A|Ar|Arg|Args"␤»;
+    my $res = False;
+    my @w = $regex.split('|');
+    for @w {
+        when /<$regex>/ {
+            $res = True
+        }
+        default {
+            $res = False
+        }
+    }
+    is $res, True; # OUTPUT: «ok 1␤»
+
+As shown in the example above, limiting the input set to one word results in the output of a regex alternation string. The rest of this description applies to sets of two or more words. The input word set can be in one of three forms: (1) a list (recommended), (2) a string containing the words separated by spaces, or (3) as a hash (or set) with the words being keys of the hash (set members). Duplicate words will be automatically and quietly eliminated.
+
+Note the input word set will not be modified unless the `:lower-case` option is used. In that case, all characters will be transformed to lower-case and any new duplicate words deleted.
+
+If the user wishes, he or she can restrict the minimum length of the generated abbreviations by using the `:$min-length` parameter.
+
+One will normally get the result as a hash with the input words as keys with their shortest abbreviation as values (return type HA), but the return type can be specified via `enum Out-type` if desired by selecting one of the `:$output-type` options. For example:
+
+    my %abbrevs = abbrevs @words, :output-type(AH);
+
+There are two shorter alias names for `sub abbreviations` one can use that are always exported:
 
 ```raku
  abbrevs

-One will normally get the result as a hash, but the return type can be specified via an `enum` if desired by selecting one of the `:out-type` options: `AH` (AbbrevHash), `AL` (AbbrevList), `H` (Hash), `L` (List), or `S` (String). For example,
+The *enum* `Out-type` is exported automatically as it is required for using `sub abbreviations`. It has the following types:

-### Output types by `enum Out-type`
+The default *HashAbbrev* (`HA`) returned will have input words as keys whose value will be the shortest valid abbreviation.

 An *AbbrevList* (`AL`) is special in that the returned list is the one, shortest abbreviation for each of the input words in input order. For example,

+
+Note that a hash (or set) input type will not reliably provide this output as expected since the keys are not stored in order. Instead, the ouput will be based on a list of the hash's keys. In effect, entering `%out = abbreviations %in` is the same as:

 ### Improved abbreviation search
 
-The abbreviation algorithm has been improved in the following way: The input word set is formed into subgroups comprised of each input word. Abbreviations are created for each word, abbreviations shared by two or words are eliminated, then all those abbreviations are combined into one set. The result will be the largest possible set of unique abbreviations for a given input word set.

-This routine sorts the input list first by the default Raku sort and then by word length. The order by length is by shortest abbreviation first unless the `:longest-first` option is used.

+The `Sort-type`s are:
