Subject: Question about function prefixes
Date: Sun, 08 Oct 2017 13:29:26 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zi91lf9l.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
I've received a suggestion to add functionality for a Beaufort cipher[1] to my vigenere.el package. A Beaufort cipher uses almost exactly the same algorithm as a Vigenere cipher, with some small changes. The differences are small enough that I can modify vigenere.el to handle a Beaufort cipher with only a few lines changed.
Prefixing the Beaufort functions with "vigenere-" seems confusing to users, so would it be acceptable to prefix them with "beaufort-"?
