Re: Request for feedback: deriving strategies syntax

Given the prevalence of spellings like "normalise" in common Haskell packages, we might just be settling on British English. Being American makes that a tad difficult on my end, but personally I can make peace with it. On Thu, Aug 18, 2016 at 3:19 PM, Matthew Pickering < matthewtpickering@gmail.com> wrote:

I also like 'bespoke' but then it seems to be a much more common in British English than American English.

Bardur,

Since you don't like "bespoke", would you mind suggesting an alternative, or advocating for a previously mentioned idea? From [1], the ideas I've seen tossed around are:

* builtin * standard (Elliot Cameron suggested it here [2]) * wiredin (Cater Schonwald suggested it here [3]) * magic (Andres Löh suggested it here [4]) * native * original * specialized (the above three are ad hoc suggestions I came up with in a hurry)
