Interception? Seems like a reasonable use to me.
- quarterto 12y agoThe -ception suffix is typically used for nested abstraction; for example running a virtual machine within a virtual machine could be referred to as VMception. This is in reference to the 2010 movie Inception, a major device of which is the use of nested dreams, or /a dream(?: within a dream)*/.
