Hi Waldek,

Well, FriCAS is your baby, so you can do whatever you like, but if you had proposed that patch before committing, I would have complained about the name.

What is the sense of basically using a name from the underlying lisp level at the spad level rather than inventing a good name that says what the function does. One cannot (and should not) expect SPAD developers to know Lisp at all.

I would have liked that we at least keep the convention that the spad functions have no abbreviations, but are rather full names.

You also seem to more and more deviate from camelCase convention of the original AXXIOM developers, i.e. the fricas code feels more and more like following two conventions (camelCase and underscore-separated) at the same time. :-(

Maybe it is only my opinion. But I don't like it.
Just my 2 cents.

Ralf
