Topic: comp vs trans
Bryan Gin-ge Chen (Jan 01 2021 at 17:23):
The following came up in #5557. Oftentimes two instances of structures can be composed to form a new instance. Some of these are named .trans
like docs#function.embedding.trans and others are named .comp
(with the opposite argument order) like docs#add_hom.comp.
Is there a convention for this?

I think I have often seen equiv
s with trans
, where the corresponding map
s use comp
. But this is descriptive rather than prescriptive grammar :)
