Subject: Generalized vs generic
Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2005 10:58:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <66e540fe05021001586e652353@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I've started to adapt my applications to the new vector and array interfaces.

To me, the name "generalized_vector" feels a bit odd and heavy. 
Looking in the dictionaries, it seems like the term "generic_vector"
would be more fitting. What do the native English speakers say?

Should we use the names:

scm_is_generic_vector
scm_c_generic_vector_length
etc

instead of the current:

scm_is_generalized_vector
scm_c_generalized_vector_length
etc

?
