Why, oh why do classes, which have the purpose to remove something from documents, always have to be named “XYZStripper”? As a programmer faithful to the (often unwritten) coding conventions, I have to name instances of such classes of course - “stripper“. Unfortunately the names of those stripping methods do not quite match the juicyness of the class name. I would like to code things like stripper.renderNaked() or stripper.undoClips().

And with a swing of her hips
She started to strip
To tremendous applause
She took of her drawers

And with a lick of her lips
She undid all her clips
And threw it all in the air
And everybody stared

This must be either really new or - what seems more likely - I have slept over Google’s developments the last year. Google Code allows for a regular-expression-based search in publicly available source code. Nice one.
