There's a GC library around somewhere, but I doubt anyone uses it. Manual memory management is generally quite simple, as long as you aren't using archaic languages.

I replied to a poster who said the seven years of updates began with the Pixel 6 with "Pixel 8" and a link which showed when support expires on these devices, because... it began with the Pixel 8, not 6.

> Back to the CURL prefix, what is wrong with it?

It prevents stuttering when using it `curl.CURL_*`.

> What would the "CURL" distinct type be without the CURL prefix?

`CURL` isn't a prefix there.

Take more time to think things through.
