Naming is always a bike shed issue. I'm starting a separate thread for those who don't care can easily ignore it. The current names I'm least comfortable with are the conversion function names in the endian sub-namespace: big_to_native big_to_native_inplace native_to_big native_to_big_inplace little_to_native little_to_native_inplace native_to_little native_to_little_inplace conditional_reverse conditional_reverse_inplace These are quite explicit, but are a bit too long and awkward for my taste. I'd be willing to change these names if someone can come up with replacements that are shorter and less awkward, but still reasonable explicit. --Beman
