Functions should be named according to one of the following schemes:
verb_noun
verb_noun_with_noun
noun_attribute
get_noun_attribute -- when the 'noun_attribute' name conflicts with a type
set_noun_attribute
Prefixes are mandatory for exported functions, macros, enums, globals and types.
fz for common code
pdf, xps, etc., for interpreter specific code
Prefixes are optional (but encouraged) for private functions and types.
Avoid using 'get' as this is a meaningless and redundant filler word.
These words are reserved for reference counting schemes:
new, find, load, open, keep -- return objects that you are responsible for freeing.
drop, free, close -- relinquish ownership of the object passed in.
When searching for an object or value, the name used depends on whether
returning the value is passing ownership:
lookup -- return a value or borrowed pointer
find -- return an object that the caller is responsible for freeing
