Disambiguate use of term "template". #53

Closed rec closed 8 years ago

rec commented 8 years ago

I am unfortunately using template in two different ways, aren't I?

There are template functions and classes, the C++ construction, and .template files like this one that are used to generate .pyx files using a little Python program.

I need to rename the second of these to something better. If a name had popped up, I'd have done it and not filed this issue...

prototype is the best that I can come up with, though it does intersect with "proto" buffers.

I'm starting to believe that these will, in fact, correspond to C++ templated classes when all's said and done - that I should be only using this to force code generation that would work if Cython were templated (it understands template, but that's not the same thing).

I'm going to close this...
