19:36 <msiism> I'm trying to find an explanation of the naming conventions for functions in Racket, especially the `func*` form. But I can't seem to find it.

19:40 <samth> msiism: `func*` is basically the "prime" convention in mathematics, where a' is like a but different

19:44 <msiism> Hm… okay, Beautiful Racket explains it like this: "If a func­tion handles one input argu­ment or returns one value, a variant func­tion that handles multiple input argu­ments or multiple return values uses the same name, but suffixed with *."

19:45 <msiism> Oh, and: "The * suffix can also denote a variant that treats multiple argu­ments as nested rather than parallel: for vs. for*, let vs. let*."

19:45 <msiism> Yeah, I was already wondering about let*.

19:47 <msiism> So, if I write a function that conses list A onto list B item by item, calling that `cons*` wouldn't be that bad, right?

19:49 <msiism> Here's a demo of what I mean: http://paste.debian.net/plain/1254418
