Toolkits will often be grouped for special purposes, such as array manipulation, string parsing, or to manipulate some low-level object (such as a database or timer, etc). Wouldnt it be more logical and aesthetically pleasing to use prefixes such as MAT_, STR_, DB_, CLK_, etc rather than WL_ or PJW_ ? Per
