revIgniter Naming Convention

revIgniter follows a simple, easy to memorize, naming convention to reduce potential name conflicts to a minimum:

All revIgniter functions and commands are prefixed either with rig or _rig for some private handlers, they look something like rigSampleHandler or _rigSampleHandler. Besides those listed below, global variables use gRig and constants rig as prefix. Furthermore flash is a reserved prefix. This means, with few exceptions (see below), you can choose arbitrary names for your functions, commands, globals and constants as long as you don't prefix them with rig, _rig, gRig or flash.
