Eh. I'm not a native English speaker either (although living in North America you can't really escape being exposed to it), but the naming issue here seems logical rather than subjective to me: unset can be both a verb or an adjective; by moving it after the noun, it communicates better that it acts as an adjective rather than as a verb. So instead of 'unset-value?', I'd use 'value-unset?', but since in this case we're dealing with a 'maybe' type defined with the 'define-maybe' macro, I'd keep 'maybe-value-unset?'. I hope this makes sense. Native English speakers are welcome to tip in, of course :-). Thanks, Maxim
