When one is planning to have many methods, one should better have a plan for
how to maintain them. Such a plan should cover navigation, search, and if
growth is foreseen, naming new methods. A naming scheme could in itself be such
a plan.
I've tried alternative naming schemes but found this one to work best. It's
obviously possible that I missed something. If you have other ideas, please
share and let's discuss them.
