Gary,

Actually I think it started as "detail" singular.
You are correct about collisions though.

Also agreed, I have used "re_detail" for the regex private parts, similarly
mangled names for other large libraries seem to be a good idea - but I
guess use whatever you want - vtl_detail, VTL, gp, whatever, as long as it
is private to you.
