When adding lazy versions in the past, for better or worse,
we've generally gone for using nouns, whereas you're suggesting
adjectives based coming from the past tense of a verb (though
the verb "to case" has nothing with the case of letters).
OK, so I didn't really understand what were you referring to,
since the only examples I found while looking through the
*stable* documentation were joiner and splitter. But I went
through the list of new symbols, and I found that a few more have
been added after the last release to std.string:
en/detabber, left/right/centerJustifier, soundexer
So, one option is to stay consistent with these additions, and go
with upperCaser and lowerCaser, even if those sound a bit odd.
Another option would be to rename those additions as well, so we
would have:
en/detabbed, left/right/centerJustified, soundexed, upperCased,
lowerCased
I don't know if this counts as being outside of the scope of this
thread.
Any thoughts? Or is everyone bored to death already? :)
