Completely unrelated question: What is the naming convention for Phobos
modules? If the name consists of two words does it become "twowords" or
"two_words"? I'm just asking because you mentioned parallel_algorithm
which got me a bit confused.
Beats me. I was actually hoping we'd discuss that in the upcoming reviews. I'm
not at all adverse to changing the name of std.parallel_algorithm or making a
std.allocators package to put RegionAllocator in. (The latter will almost
certainly happen since the proposal now includes a wrapper struct to wrap the GC
in an allocator interface as a throw-in. We can't have a top-level
std.regionallocator and std.gcallocator. This would be ridiculous.) I regard
these names as provisional.
I agree on both points: Now that it looks like we are settling for a
common allocator interface (Andrei, keep your ideas and comments coming,
at least I find them very interesting ;)), a package for various
implementations seems like a good idea to me.
And yes, all names should be regarded provisional unless the
functionality in question is merged in – Jonas will probably rename
etc.curl to std.curl as well, but still we need a handle for it during
the review process.
