Thanks for the suggestion. I was uncomfortable with Option_Definitions
because I usually use singular nouns for type names. I tried things like
Option_List, but it's not a list in a CS sense.

On the other hand, Options_DB reminds of the wild abbreviations in my C
life. Option_Database maybe?

Or Option_Container? But isn't that a bit too implementation-oriented,
the client probably cares more about the function of the object than
about the kind of stuff that exists inside, so shouldn't the type name
reflect client's point of view?


Thanks for ponting it out,
Natasha
