Hey,
I just went thru a bunch of interfaces and noticed a good pattern
in wording. I propose to make this part of the style guide:
rewind - go back to the beginning of a chunk of data
(used in: textfile, binfile, msgfile, etc.)
reset - clear the data from a container; or, go back to the initial
state
(used in: zexy/index, cyclone/MouseState, maxlib, etc.)
"reset" should not be confused with "clear"...
Hmm, what's the difference? I think I remember seeing [clear( and
thinking that it should ahve been [reset(.
what about open vs. read vs. load?
That probably should be documented. Make a proposal!
