Re: [higgins-dev] proposed changes to Configuration and IdASRegistry


I'm ambivalent on the get vs. create method name. When you get a component's descriptor, does it really matter whether one is being allocated from scratch vs. returned by reference?

The "create" method implies the first. "Get" maybe implies the second, but does it necessarily? Get methods can be used for values/objects that are computed, rather than just returned.

I don't have a strong opinion here, but "get" seems the more natural verb to mean "give me a descriptor for your configurable settings."
