I've been considering, for our newer Ruby APIs, renaming the module
names to be more like the namespaces used in C++. IOW, right now you
need to use:
connection = Qpid::Messaging::Connection.new
but I would prefer using:
connection = qpid::messaging::Connection.new
Anybody have a reason not to rename these items?
What is the general convention for Ruby modules (if indeed there is one)?
I'm not qualified to comment on that myself, but from a very quick search:
"Ruby class and module names are also constants, but they are
conventionally written using initial capital letters and camel case,
LikeThis."[1]
Most tutorials seems to follow that convention also [2],[3]. Any
references supporting lower case modules?
