So the thing we can discuss, if we go this way are: 1) with an "s" after the verb or not? 2) should we use "start" or "begin"? 3) with an underscore, nothing or camelCase My preference is: 1) with an "s" 2) "start" 3) underscore so that gives: starts_with() and ends_with() Thanks, Christian. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
