Chance for renaming and unifying

[jakobbossek]

Recently we decided to rename BBmisc to HELL. There will be one update to BBmisc soon to inform users about our new package.

In line with the renaming of the package we have the possibility to arrive at an agreement concerning naming conventions. Therefore each developer should go through the currently available functions and point out possible candidates for the renaming procedure.

Personally I really dislike the function names names2, do.call2 as well as which.first. Sure, these are better versions of the build-in R functions, but the naming sucks 😆

The thing with the "2" I somehow dislike as well.

But the idea was to say:
"It is the same function as its counterpart in base R, just a bit nicer".

R already does the same with system, system2 and so on. And we then have system3 :)

I just do not know a better alternative. Inventing a completely new name for basically the same thing is worse IMHO.

Yes I understand the reason, but it simply does not harmonize with the names of the majority of functions in HELL and thus is no good solution in my opinion.

[berndbischl]

Make an alternative suggestion then.

Hmm, I don't know. Both arguments are good 😃
