Usually I'll aim for the solution that's most generic - in this case, the 'ed'
prefix can be applied to every one of your functions (and makes sense in the
context of every one of them), so it's the one I would always go with, as it
keeps API consistency. But then again, maybe that's just me and my memory
laziness kicking in!
