I'd otherwise want to push this, but I'm not entirely satisfied with
the option name quite yet. I'm pondering if we should call it
"hybrid_fragmented" - any opinions, Dennis or Timo?
How about `resilient_mode` or `recoverable`?
I agree that the how is secondary.
Those are good suggestions as well - but I think I prefer
"hybrid_fragmented" still.
In theory, I guess one could implement resilient writing in a number
of different ways, whereas the hybrid fragmented/non-fragmented only
is one.
So with a couple other voices agreeing with the name
"hybrid_fragmented", I'll post a new patch with the option in that
form - hopefully you don't object to it.
The term hybrid is not applicable here. The fragmented state is
transient during writing and contingent in the finished artifact
depending on how the writing process concluded.
Hybrid implies both modes available e.g.. a hybrid vehicle can use both
types of energy sources. The artifact here will be one _or_ the other.
Sure, the file itself is either or, but the process of writing will have
utilized both. TBH, I don't see it as such a black-or-white thing.
What do the others who have chimed in on the thread think, compared to
calling it "recoverable" or "resilient_mode"?
