Or just alias the functions useful for string processing...
I agree. It already has some aliases, converting to lower and uppercase.
I wouldn't want to get to the point where many functions have 2-3 names.
This is only a problem if they are all in the same sphere of concern..
by that I mean if you're looking for string functions and you find 2
names for the same function this would be wrong/confusing/pointless.
But, if you have one name in the string category and one in the range
category and they were both the same function underneath I don't see
this as the "same" problem, right?
The way I see it one learns a name for an algorithm (low cognitive load)
and then uses it everywhere. This is not Go.
