JR <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #2 from JR <[email protected]> --- It's semantically ambiguous as duplicate can be both a noun and a verb. I tend to think of .{i,}dup the noun way; something.duplicateOf; where whether the .duplicateOf property "does" something or not remains up to implementation. In abstract: the clerk has a stack of foos and you're asking for a .dup copy, so he fetches one from the pile and hands it to you. The opposite is naturally .duplicateThisForMe, from which perspective they shouldn't be property functions, no. --
