Ah, yes, that's so very true... ;)

A name - of an object or a funicton - always carries some meaning of its
own, which should be related to its behaviour.  That is my main point
against having [once] closed as default: A closed [once] to me more
seems like a "[never]".  Viewing it from this point was what made me
come up with [countdown].  Maybe [countdown] isn't the best name,
either.  Alternatives could be [manyshot], [someshot], [passmany],
[passcount] etc. What do you think?

Ciao
