The first two sound right to me, the third is actually a "withFoo", and the last three should be named in a consistent way. Combining your proposals I suggest:
glBegin/glEnd renderPrimitive glNewList/glEndList defineList glPushName/glPopName withName glPushMatrix/glPopMatrix preservingMatrix glPushAttrib/glPopAttrib preservingAttrib glPushClientAttrib/glPopClientAttrib preservingClientAttrib
Does this sound OK, especially for the native speakers on this list?
Sounds right to me [ aber ich bin kein Native Speaker ]. BTW, will there be a place in the docs where people coming from C could look up the equivalences? Perhaps a simple text file where I can just grep for a C name and get the corresponding Haskell name. Cheers, Wolfgang
