Yep, I'd agree, those are fine names. I still would expect to see the
class names in uppercase though; a single leading capital letter
strongly suggests that it's a single-word name, where all-lowercase
could just be rammed up together non-delimited. But yeah, that's a
pretty minor point. Those name are well suited to their tasks. (And
quite a few of them can be figured out from context without even
turning to the translator, like hoek == angle.)
