[jira] [Commented] (TEXT-58) All uppercase methods?

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEXT-58?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15821005#comment-15821005 ] 

Rob Tompkins commented on TEXT-58:
----------------------------------

Are you referencing this array? https://github.com/apache/commons-text/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/text/translate/CharSequenceTranslator.java#L33

If so your point is quite valuable because there's virtually no point in ever declaring a static final array.

That said, because it's scope is default do you think that it matters? (I suppose a consumer could declare the same package name and use it).

> Class {{o.a.c.text.translate.JavaUnicodeEscaper}} contains methods names with all uppercase letters (and underscores).
> I understand that they create copies of _static_ constants (although even that is not true since they return arrays!), but are you sure you want to release a new component that does not follow the usual convention?
> I understand these comes from LANG but isn't it the right time to fix the API?
