Description

This was discussed some time ago in zulip (I'm too lazy to find the thread):

  • Prefer swizzle to shuffle. swizzle has a specific computational meaning and isn't used elsewhere, while shuffle often refers to permutation (like shuffling a deck of cards)
  • Operating on a single vector should be swizzle, and 2 swizzle2 (1 vector should be the default, in other words)
