Is there a reason why the short for 'modifiable'
is 'ma'
and not 'mo'
?
I've entered :h 'mo'
and I got E149
, so there doesn't seem to be any clash...

It is probably because there are two similarly-named options: 'modifiable'
(shortened to 'ma'
) and 'modified'
(shortened to 'mod'
).
nu
/rnu
, wic
/wig
, and most of all, wcm
/wc
where the difference is in the trailing letter of the former, just like for mod
/could-have-been-mo
.

history-of
tag. I guess given that tag, going from why to do you know about the historical decision of xyz? is ok, no?
