They just try one and if they like the result they keep it. If not, they try another. Actually, I think the best naming method for the end user would be based on speed and quality (fastest, best, etc.) Anyone who really wants to know the details of the method can feel free to look at the code. Including detailed descriptions somewhere in the help would be an option, too. ____________________________________________________________________________________ No need to miss a message.
