1. featurectomy
The act of removing a feature from a program. Featurectomies come
in two flavors, the righteous and the
reluctant. Righteous featurectomies
are performed because the remover believes the program would be more
elegant without the feature, or there is already an equivalent and better
way to achieve the same end. (Doing so is not quite the same thing as
removing a misfeature.) Reluctant featurectomies
are performed to satisfy some external constraint such as code size or
execution speed.
