It’s a long story. :-)
Thanks for taking the time to tell it.
Initially in Guile the ‘%’ prefix was used for “system”
bindings, thing
you don’t normally use as a normal user. Then I think I started
using
it for things that are meant to be “internal” or variables meant
to be
read-only (not procedures). In Guix we sort of follow that but
somewhat
extend the meaning.
s/extend/invert/ if I were feeling sassy. I'd be lying if I said
I understood it clearly now, but it'll be a lot easier to placate
my obsessive side with a tasty bag of hysterical raisins than to
keep searching for a pattern that's just not there.
In the example above, I’d rather write ‘dovecot-activation’
(without
prefix, because it’s a procedure), but I’d probably write
‘%exim-activation’, depending on the phase of the moon.
Now you're just trollin'.
Thanks,
T G-R
