[Insight-developers] class name abbreviations

[John M. Galeotti]

I suppose a better question then would be how much I need to included 
the names of parents in the names of children, when I intend for the 
children to actually be used as instances of the parents.  In this 
specific case, FourierSeriesDifferentiableParametricFunctionPath would 
actually be used as an argument to a function requiring a 
DifferentiableParametricFunctionPath object, etc.  So, with that in 
mind, is it still fine to drop the "DifferentiableParametricFunction" 
part from the long FourierSeries... name?

FourierSeriesDifferentiableParametricFunctionPath derives from
DifferentiableParametricFunctionPath which derives from
ParametricFunctionPath which derives from
Path which derives from
FunctionBase
