<b>Subject:</b> JEP505: Question on naming Subtask</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">
<div class="PlainText">Hello,<br>
<br>
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”?
<br>
<br>
This is in contrast to what I would expect as StructuredTaskScope has the T capitalized.<br>
<br>
A quick search of “Sub” in java code on the github openjdk repo gives the following usages: “SubKind”, “SubMapIterator”, “subMap”, “subSequence”.<br>
<br>
there also seems to be some non-capitalized usage e.g. “substring” but it is fewer in number.
<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
