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
