Comment (by vbraun):
Replying to [comment:32 ncohen]:
> It's probably just that I am dead tired of typing
`G.is_strongly_regular(parameters=True)`, just before getting an error
because it should be `return_parameters=True` and to do the very same
mistake in the other direction with `is_t_design`. I do this 10 times a
day at least, no joke.
The solution is to have proper names for methods, not random (and not tab-
discoverable) keyword arguments to change the output to contradict the
method name:
{{{
sage: obj.is_foo(parameters=True)
(42, 'cherry')
}}}
What does that tell me without reading the docs? Nothing. VS:
{{{
sage: obj.enumerated_fruit()
(42, 'cherry')
}}}
