that has been discussed elsewhere. the 'ian' suffix is overkill. think
about all the classic mathematical transforms and they don't append
'ian' to the person's name. fourier, laplace, etc. maybe schwartzian
sounds better but it is odd (and probably grammatically wrong) to add
'ian' to his name for this use. but i doubt it will be dropped as it is
reached a critical mass of acceptance.
