One of the goals of the Minivend Documentation Project is to present
newest, most robust, and most general version of the tags first in the
documentation, with variant forms presented as such. Hopefully older forms
will go away completely.

Is there any reason why you would want to use [loop-price] and
[loop-description] rather than [loop-field price] and [loop-field
description] other than that is they are less to type?

If you know of any other tags where there is a general form that is
clearer that alternate forms, please email me directly
(thompson-jordan@mindspring.com) or post your ideas to the docs mail list
(minivend-docs@minivend.com). Thanks.
