sounds better than this:
writeln(str.lowerCaser.detabber.transmogrifier);
IMO, when naming things, generally we should lean towards
representing semantics rather than mechanics (i.e. how is this
function going to be used, rather than what this function does
under the hood), as that will result in more readable code.
Anyway, this is extreme bikeshedding and I won't mind too much
leaving these alone.
Proposed new names: entabbed, detabbed,
left/right/centerJustified, soundexed. (Existing similar names:
`indexed`, `transposed`)
They're nicer without either 'er' nor 'ed'.
writeln(str.lowerCase.detab.transmogrify);
Just as join and split are much better than the rather tortured
joiner and splitter. That may be a cutter but I want it to cut,
and would rather invoke it that way. The er and ed carry no
useful information and sound clunky. A man may be a mower but I'd
ask him to mow the field.
