Hi, Codec developers,

I dropped commons-codec-1.4.jar into IntelliJ 7.0 (my current editor)
to see how the auto-completion looks.  Now I'm having second thoughts
on two method names for CODEC-59.  Here's what it currently looks
like:

Base64.encodeBase64String(byte[] binaryData)
Base64.encodeBase64URLSafeString(byte[] binaryData)

(screenshot from IntelliJ 7, 15KB, 760x187)


I'm wondering if the word "To" should be inserted there?  As in "ToString":

Base64.encodeBase64ToString(byte[] binaryData)
Base64.encodeBase64URLSafeToString(byte[] binaryData)

(screenshot from IntelliJ 7, 14KB, 736x162)


Sorry about this inane niggling.  I just thought it's either now or
never!  Any one else have opinions about this extremely minor cosmetic
point?  (Good bikeshedding candidate, but still... somehow
aesthetically bothersome?)


yours,

Julius


ps. Niall, I downloaded all the artifacts from
http://people.apache.org/~niallp/codec-1.4-rc3/ and they look great.
Ant and Maven builds working great from all *-src artifacts.
