E: omg forget my whole comment. I agree with you that the name sucks.
I mostly don't like that
roleis typically an intuitive name, and now suddenly it means something I wouldn't expect. Why add confusion to your code? I don't always remember what I meant week to week, much less if someone else wrote it.If I had a nickel for every time that happened to me, I’d still be poor, but at least I’d have several nickels. 😁
