The next step here then will be for the author to address the naming concern with a proposed change. We can then repeat the check.

I've actually lost track of the various different proposals, because that threads sprawled so much. I'm still leaning towards not changing any names, but I might go back and look. At this point, HP inclusion isn't looking worth the trouble.

Chin up! I read the entire thread yesterday, and there's lots of sensible discussion. Authors simply do not have to respond to every concern, especially when the concerns themselves are in flux. What I would ask everyone to keep in mind is that *we are not aiming for perfection*. The goal is to have a useful library set, that improves on the current situation. Discussion should be framed with this in mind. -- Don
