[sc-users] OK to change AdhocClass -> Prototype?



Is anybody using AdhocClass in my library?

If so (or even if not), would anybody object terribly if I changed the name of this class to Prototype?

Pros:

As a name, AdhocClass is kind of weird.
Calling it Prototype makes explicit the connection to earlier work in prototype-based programming.

Cons:

Usurping a general word for a specific use in my class library.
This class is not the only way to do prototyping in SuperCollider, so should it masquerade as "the" prototyping standard?
Only a minor issue: the need to update code for the new class name (easy to do with sed).

I can't decide... somebody push me one way or the other... thanks!
