Re: RFC [Discussion]: Randomizer Additions

Hello! [As Larry kindly pointed out to me, I only sent the email to Larry and not to the mailing list.]

"Alphabet" here still, to me, implies a character set, not a byte stream. Maybe getBytesFromString? getBytesFromList? getBytesFrom() (because you're getting it "from" the string that's provided, so you don't need another noun there.)? I'm not opposed to the functionality, but "alphabet" doesn't seem like the right word for it.

I'm not really happy with the name either and was hoping for some suggestions. getBytesFrom sounds incomplete to me. getBytesFromList sounds to me as if an array is being passed there and not a string. getBytesFromString sounds good to me, though. Better than getBytesfromAlphabet! Cheers Joshua Rüsweg
