Often a Key
argument is used when you just need a key name. This is because with a Key
we know the name is valid and we get an unescaped name. Using a Key
here makes the API a bit confusing.
There could be a richer API for manipulating key names without relying on the escaped name (e.g. concatenating two full key names). With the current situation, all these functions would need to be part of the API for a key. Adding such functions to the key API is certainly not minimal.
struct KeyName
Continue keeping 3 classes: Key
, KeySet
and KDB
.
Key
ideally only consists of a key name and the goal is to keep Key
small, so introducing KeyName
would go the wrong direction.Key
