Using the 'Interface' suffix on interface names.

[Andrew Carter]

Hello,

There's currently a discussion taking place in the working group for what will hopefully soon be the event loop proposal.

The discussion is regarding whether to use the 'Interface' suffix on the event loop interface: https://github.com/async-interop/event-loop/issues/5

I would be very interested to hear the opinions of the FIG on this topic - and any further arguments for and against.

Many Thanks,

Andrew

Suffix is required.

Larry,

I think what Andrew is proposing is we review whether or not that part of the bylaw needs review. I'd say that was certainly something that could be done, particularly in the instance of Exceptions (PSR-6 accidentally violates this bylaw).

I have to guess that was an oversight when the bylaw was drafted.  As best I can remember, the Exception interface has always been an exception with regard to the prefix/suffix naming.  While FIG went with Abstract prefix and Interface suffice, earlier iterations of the discussion in other circles sometimes chose Abstract and Interface both to be suffixes.  However, in all cases that I recall, the Exception interface would not be suffixed. 

See (https://wiki.php.net/pear/rfc/pear2_class_naming) for one such discussion, which has several others linked at its bottom.

My suggestion would be we can remove this from the bylaws and then it becomes an point that can be decided on in a case-by-case basis.

+1, the interface suffix is an abomination. 

[Daniel Plainview]

I can't agree more with opinions above.

Suffix is the most painful part of PSRs and I think it was a mistake.

I wonder if it's possible to rethink that bylaw in the future and deprecate existing PSRs in favour of new ones without suffix.
