I quite like the name, not least because it accurately gives the impression of "something you will probably misunderstand".

- sillysaurusx 6y agoThis had me burst out laughing. Thanks for that perspective. I guess that's one way to solve the naming problem: just make all your names super obscure as a warning to any would-be students of the dark arts.
- kevincox 6y agoMy personal rules of naming, in order of importance are: 1. Be unique. 2. Don't be misleading. 3. Be leading. So in this case you are nailing 2 but missing out on three which I would consider a "pretty good" name. Sure, it would be nice if it was a bit more obvious (maybe construct_in_place_back?) but at least it doesn't sound like it does something else so people know to look it up.
