Do not worry this is so complex to define that I will define my own in
my own class
for myself. Like that I will be able to use the names I want for my
projects.
You see in Rectangle we have a protocol named fmp and I was sad to see it.
I would have preferred wtf

Hi guys
is stdev a typical name for standardDeviation?
Because I found it sad to have mean and stdev instead of mean and
standardDeviation.
stdev() or std() seems fairly typical. Doesn't mean we can't be
different. One thing though is that the typical function is what
newcomers would search on, which makes me consider it could be useful
in Spotter to have a mapping from functions in other languages to
Pharo methods. So a user would type stdev and the top hit would be
standardDeviation.
