Hi,
in the services modules, there are configuration types defined like this:
(define-record-type* <nginx-configuration>
nginx-configuration make-nginx-configuration
nginx-configuration?
(nginx nginx-configuration-nginx) ;<package>
(log-directory nginx-configuration-log-directory) ;string
(run-directory nginx-configuration-run-directory) ;string
(vhosts nginx-configuration-vhosts
(default '())) ;list of <nginx-vhost-configuration>
(file nginx-configuration-file)) ;string | file-like
I wonder if it's really necessary to have this prefix
"nginx-configuration-" for what I assume is the getter? For me it looks
redundant. The getter is only valid for this very type, so why should
there be any need to add a prefix?
If the reason is, that all these getters are defined globally, them I'm
astound, why there is no syntax like my_config->log-directory, which
would remove this redundancy.
