(In reply to Chris Burch) Chris, feel free to do this if you want, all I ask is not to use ESL or the name Euphoria Standard Library. The point behind the ESL (and it's biggest fault so far) is that anyone can propose stuff and we'd agree on everything as a group. I'm sure if Chris Cuvier (the other person who's really into this) or I did it with our word as law we'd be done by now but we wanted to allow the community to contribute with everything. Sadly, this has caused much delay along with Real Life getting in the way occasionally. You have the freedom to do this if you want. However, honestly, I'd prefer you didn't since we hope to get everything started full throttle soon (we mean it this time!) and we were hoping to have everything unified, standardized, and full documented. I think lack of uniformity would be the biggest issue. Our naming conventions were made to fit with Euphoria's current scheme whereas with your method you could get stuff like "esl_iGetKey" and then have "esl_process_keystroke" in the same file which could throw off many users.
