#3158 — Which function names to choose?

I am going to create two functions:

1. Append to the list of items (actually the list of children of a HTML DOM 
node) with an item initialized with a default value.

2. Append to the list of items (actually the list of children of a HTML DOM 
node) with an item initialized with specified values.

What are the best names for functions 1 and 2?

I think "add"<->"append" not sure which of these is 1 and which is 2.

I would call them both add and use overloading.

I would call them both Append and use overloading. - If you describe
them as "Append ...", that is most likely the name you will understand
the next time you look at the code.

node_append_child_blank(); /* or "empty" or "null" depending on exactly what 
a default is "

node_append_child( DOM_NODE *child);
