JEP505: Question on naming Subtask

Hello,

The code example given for JEP505 had a small but jarring feature for me: the Subtask type does not capitalize the T in task. Any reason it is not “SubTask”? 

This is in contrast to what I would expect as StructuredTaskScope has the T capitalized.

A quick search of “Sub” in java code on the github openjdk repo gives the following usages: “SubKind”, “SubMapIterator”, “subMap”, “subSequence”.

there also seems to be some non-capitalized usage e.g. “substring” but it is fewer in number. 

I realise this is superficial feedback but thought I would provide it anyway. There will likely be questions on why it goes against the convention of what a java dev like myself expects. But maybe I just inferred a convention when none actually existed. 

Regards,
