Naming conventions

Schemes

I could identify the following distinct naming schemes:

Name	Example	Template
result-noun	chunks	This function returns its argument(s) as/in (a) _____ This function returns the _____ of its argument(s) The function's return value is a _____ of its argument
result-adjective	chunked	This function's return value is its argument(s) but _____ This function's return value is _____ compared to its argument(s)
verb	chunk / chunkify	This function's goal is to _____ its argument(s)
verb-noun	chunker	This function is a(n) _____
preposition+noun/adj.	byChunk / asChunks	This function's return value presents the argument _____

Existing names

Here are some lazy functions in Phobos which operate on (take and return) ranges, their existing names (in bold), and what their name might look like in the above naming schemes. Names already in use by other parts in Phobos are struck out.

Feel free to edit this table if you have any brilliant ideas, but just to clarify - these are informative, and no renaming of existing, established names is being considered.
