I'd like to think of [lang] as "What is missing from the JRE's most basic classes and specifically from the java.lang package and some java.util classes". Quoting from our site: "The standard Java libraries fail to provide enough methods for manipulation of its core classes. Apache Commons Lang provides these extra methods. Lang provides a host of helper utilities for the java.lang API, notably String manipulation methods, basic numerical methods, object reflection, concurrency, creation and serialization and System properties. Additionally it contains basic enhancements to java.util.Date and a series of utilities dedicated to help with building methods, such as hashCode, toString and equals." I do not think edit distances fit into this at all. I am also questioning whether string escaping belongs in lang as well since there are so many escaping domains XML, HTML, JSON, and so on. IMO, anything that is word based does not belong in lang like capitlization. The WordUtils class should be in [text] IMO. The whole lang text package should be in [text] IMO.
