Even unloading the RD addin doesn't restore the expected system behaviour.

@this JunkDrawer++

@FreeMan ~.~

if we did that, then we'll eventually have to call it JunkDrawer# when it gets bigger'n'better.

FWIW JunkDrawer was never intended as a final name, it's just that that's basically what I needed when I originally created the project

if German were acceptable for the naming of our projects I'd have used Kruschdelschublade

Max is right, though, InternalApi isn't that much better. Common or Utilities is just as nondescript.

that's kind of exactly the point, yea

heh, I'd be fine with using german name.

3 years from now a new contributor will ask “Why is there this junk drawer? Shouldn’t it be renamed?” To which the reply will be “Yeah we tried that. JunkDrawer was a temporary thing that best fits.”

It doesn't help that extensions and stateless functions have to be in a class of some kind, which in turn requires an assembly/project in order to DRY.

maybe that should be the name. Rubberduck.Dry

or Rubberduck.Vagabond

Rubberduck.VariousCrapThatReallyDoesntBelongTogetherButDoesntBelongAnywereElse

Or, you could abbreviate it: Rubberduck.JunkDrawer

see, JunkDrawer .... what you sez

JunkDrawer every house has one.

and for some houses more than one, unfortunately.
