Greets, Somebody just announced a "Boilerplate removal library" called "Boilerpipe" to the Java Lucene lists, and that's spurred me to action on something that's been lingering for a while.
The Lucy object model is supported by a suite of tools under the moniker "Boilerplater", so named because it generates a bunch of boilerplate C code. But "Boilerplater" is not a very distinctive or descriptive name. It would be nice to give it a better one, and it will be easier to change it now rather than later. If "OOPC" were available, we might use that. But someone else thought of that one long ago. So, instead... I propose "Clownfish". Rationale: The killer feature of Lucy's OO system is its symbiotic relationship with the "host" language. The name "Clownfish" pays tribute to that animal's symbiotic relationship with the sea anemone. Marvin Humphrey
