Naming decision: "Create it if it doesn't exist" in one word
naming
Solution
I usually use `ensure` for this.
Problem
Exact duplicate of - Function name for creating something if it's not there yet I have a function which checks if a certain thing exists, and if not, creates it. What would be a good word for it? Right now I'm using "maintain", so the function is called `maintain_buffer_on_path`, but I think that "maintain" is misleading. Can you think of a better one-word name?
