Yeah, and I am sorry for bikeshedding. Honestly, I do not know what is
better. This is why I do not want to block this series when others
like this.
My main motivation is to point out that:
enabledisable(enable)
might be, for some people, more eye bleeding than
enable ? "enable" : "disable"
Indeed - you need to look the former up, wasting brain time.
The problem is not that visible with yesno() and onoff(). But as you said,
onoff() confliscts with variable names. And enabledisable() sucks.
As a result, there is a non-trivial risk of two mass changes:
now:
- contition ? "yes" : "no"
+ yesno(condition)
a few moths later:
- yesno(condition)
+ str_yes_no(condition)
Followed by:
- str_yes_no(x)
+ no_yes_str(x)
