(Caveat: not following this thread.)

Just a comment that a name such as `*-threshold' doesn't
tell you whether the threshold is a lower or upper bound.

Usually, a word such as `min' or `max' in the name is
more helpful.

(Of course, regardless of the name, the doc string should
anyway spell things out appropriately.)

I agree. It actually brings confusion to the original conversation.

In our case, more explicit names would be split-line-min and split-column-min.

If people agree on that, I could make another patch defining new aliases.

Cheers,
