SRFI 231 Issue of the day: Naming convention
Bradley Lucier 12 Jan 2022 16:48 UTC
The following item is noted as an "Issue" in the specification:
===================================================================
The naming convention is not entirely uniform; most array functions
begin with array- but there are also
make-array, make-interval, make-storage-class, and
make-specialized-array
mutable-array?
All other operations begin with the name of the objects that they take
as arguments, or that they return. The question is whether we should
change these few names.
===================================================================
Should a change be made? Perhaps the "make-<whatever>" naming
convention is too strongly embedded in Scheme to change it here to make
that change.
But should we change mutable-array? to array-mutable?
