I am wracking my paltry brains* for an appropriate identifier to use as a
base package for a hierarchy of library units I am putting together to form
a putative public general-purpose utility library. Should I go for
something pithy like "CAL" (Common Ada Library), or something more
grandiose, such as "Cornerstone" or "Plinth"? Suggestions welcome.
Current planned contents for the library: base and generic signature
packages for iterators; (the ubiquitous) quicksort; a non-hashing indexed
array-based store; a (more) memory-efficient balanced binary tree (AVL or
RB?); a mondo humungous GUI etc. hierarchy. No doubt there will be just
millions of other things suggested/requested. The whole thing will be
machine/OS-independent and well documented. Every unit will be divided into
specification and implementations (I'll write the specs first).
