Arent't we pretty much doing what Linux is doing here, too? I see lots of XXX_init functions in the Linux network code, for example. > that's why i said "should", deprecated current naming, and noted existing > practice. if you agree with the proposal, it's easy enough to run sed on a > few files to fix one function name. you agree with my comment that today's > behavior is confusing even if you stare and bang on the code day in and day > out ? it's even worse for the occasional observer ... Hm... renaming something from "xxx_init()" into "xxx_register()" because other code is also also using "xxx_init()" does not really make anything clearer to me. Actually IMO it just adds confusion, because if other's use "xxx_init()" I'd expect from a consistence point of view that we use "xxx_init()", too.
