Subject: Naming conventions


<snip>
Personally I like to use plural nouns for packages, and
singular nouns for types.

So, you might have package name Regular_Expressions,
and type name Regular_Expression.

However it is not illegal to use the same name for a type
as the name of the package in which it's declared.

For example the GNAT regular expression package is
named GNAT.Regexp, and the type name is Regexp.
