While this isn't strictly on the original topic, it's not strictly off-topic, either. Perhaps this mental confusion is because neither one is a perfect name. In a case where you can't come up with a perfect name, aliases may be warranted, but in cases where a better name exists, perhaps just moving the code to the new name would be better. In this case, I'd suggest "isInGods" as a potential alternative. This all does stem from the fact that a member of the group gods is a "god" - so the flag and the groupname don't match. The same problem does not exist for pmdev (if the group were named "pmdevs" it would), but does for others, such as holders of unholy power or breathers of fire. The "isIn*" idiom would hold for all of the groups, whether they changed name or not.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
