"- str and len are both abbreviations, we should use full words when possible -"

u32 and char are abbreviations.

Yes, this is true. And this is a tradeoff, I think that basic types are so widely used that we can use this style of abbreviation without much ambiguity.

strlen is also pretty unambiguous, but I still have to check what strstr means.
