Naming FCRs

[Stefan Monnier <monnier@iro.umontreal.ca>]

Hi,

As the year is getting near its end, I figure it's a good time to open
a competition to choose a name for the thingy I've been playing with in
`scratch/fcr`.

The current name stands for FunCallableRecords, but this name is clearly
wrong, since it makes it sound like I'm defining a special kind of
record that just happen to be callable as a function, whereas FCRs are
really fundamentally functions that happen to have slots and a type,
like records.

So I'm asking here for suggestions of a better name.
Names that are technically "acceptable" but aren't very good:
- propertized functions (since the slots can also be called properties).
- translucent functions (since you can extract information from FCRs
  without having to call them, so they're less opaque).
- categorized functions (since "category" is similar to "type").
- functions with slots.
- record-like functions.
- Monomaniac objects (since they're a bit like OO-style objects but
  limited to have only exactly one method).
A good name would ideally come with a fun abbreviation.
Feel free to send me your ideas,


        Stefan
