Why Yii2 uses abbreviated methods names in yii\caching\Cache?

Question

Methods of yii\caching\Cache:

• madd(),
• mget() and
• mset(),

are the only (known to me) in entire Yii2 core, that are using abbreviated names. Following naming convetions used everywhere else, they should be named multiAdd, multiGet and multiSet.

Does anyone know, why exception has been made for this one (?) class?

I'm reviewing a book about Yii2 right now, and I was so extremely surprised to findout these names, that at first I'd bet a lot, that book author made a mistake! Abreviated methods names in Yii2?

Answer 1

I think it was done in haste and is inherited from Yii1. http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CCache#mget-detail

No one thought about it then. And now it is BC
