Topic: chore(Covby): rename Covby to CovBy #9578


Johan Commelin (Jan 09 2024 at 07:40):

In this PR, @Yury G. Kudryashov renames Covby to CovBy in accordance to the naming convention. Otoh, @Yaël Dillies remarks that this might hinder typing speed, without much benefit.

/poll Which name should we go for

  • CovBy (new name)
  • Covby (old name)

Yury G. Kudryashov (Jan 09 2024 at 07:42):

I prefer to see word boundaries. Without capital B, it's natural to try to read it as a single word, the wonder what does it mean.

Yury G. Kudryashov (Jan 09 2024 at 07:42):

Though I rarely use this particular name.

Yaël Dillies (Jan 09 2024 at 08:22):

There's also Wcovby vs WCovBy.

Yury G. Kudryashov (Jan 09 2024 at 08:26):

I guess, it makes no sense to use different conventions in these 2 cases. Either Covby and WCovby or CovBy and WCovBy.

Johan Commelin (Jan 09 2024 at 09:06):

A majority is in favour of this change, so I kicked it on the queue
