I think it would, it's not the first time somebody is confused by
this abbreviation. At least we would have an official reference in
the tree to be able to point to, and this term is used even by
non-native English-speaking committers (like myself) in comments,
sometimes.

(French has a version of that: "si et seulement si" or "ssi", that
I've used and seen a lot, bit only when dealing with theory in maths
or physics.)
