FAQ

In lettercase: Utilities for Formatting Strings with Consistent Capitalization, Word Breaks and White Space

TLDR: FAQ and Design Decisions

• Why are all the transformation functions prefixed with "str_"?

This matches the convention of the stringr and stringi packages. This helps aviod name collisions.

• Why all the aliasing of functions? Why so many functions that do the same thing with different names?

Mainly, because we couldn't agree on the names and sometimes two different names refer to the same type of formatting. Rather than enforce the use of something someone is not used to, we decided to be liberal with the aliases.

• Why don't you support X formatting?

Send us the spec and we might?
