I expect this list to get longer.

  • clade (in PHP): an interface, class, trait, and/or enum that have the same main-name (name-except-for-prefix) and live in the same .php file
  • podling: a descendant/offspring clade, i.e. one which inherits from another via interface/class "extends" or trait "use".
  • semantic alias: a function that is currently but not necessarily always an alias for another function; see HTYP
  • slug: an identifying string; see coding.
